Love Of My Life -- Missing
By Del
You left two hours early that day For your job at the Pentagon. You needed some extra time, you said, You had so much work to get done. You kissed me goodby. I gave you a big hug and a kiss. I just can't believe, my darling, Never again will we be doing this. I had another cup of coffee, Then watched the news on TV. I still think of it as a dream, The horror I was about to see. The building where you worked was on fire. Panic and chaos everywhere. Sweetheart, if you hadn't started early You wouldn't even be there. I had this sinking feeling in my heart, That you were gone from me. How can I go on living When your face I'll never see? Your body was never found. You were among the missing. Oh, how I miss your tender loving, Your hugging and your kissing. How could this happen in America, A country so kind and giving? We'll have to get these maniacs, Then try to go on living.
