SIXTY THREE REASONS(Peter Sprenkeler)
Sixty-three new heartsout of the carnage now beat,
None will ever seeor their fathers greet.
Sixty one new mothersall without their man,
They'll all manage alonethe best they can.
Sixty one fatherswho will never experience the joy,
Of holding proudly alofttheir brand new baby boy.
Sixty-one mothers who will for years feel the pain,
And try to rebuild liveswith new offspring to maintain.
Sixty one fathers whom will be so sorely missed,
Sixty-three babeswill never savour Dad's sweet kiss.
Sixty-one mothersthey will one day have to explain,
Where is their Dad?why are there no remains?
Sixty-one mothers will feel the emptiness for years,
Many nights will be spentpillows wet with tears.
Sixty three babes whose lives will never be complete,
Longing always to know a fatherthey will never meet.
Sixty-one fatherstaken cruelly from their families love,
I can't help but feel rainis from them crying above.
Sixty three babesa piece of their lives never to attain,
Sixty-three more reasonsfor terrorism to writhe in shame!
In response to a segment on "Sixty Minutes"How in New York, 63 new babies have been born to 61 mothers (two sets of twins) all whom lost their partner in the 'towers' on Sept 11 2001.
