Remember 11 September…

When I remember 11 September
I remember Robert portraying Tyler
In my favourite non-Edward movie
You know it is “Remember Me”…
I cannot forget that evocative picture
Of him looking out of the glass tower
Eyes searching the wide horizon
Stopping to think upon a moment
When he discovered the truth about his dad
And the love for his children that he had
Although he found it hard to show it
The evidence was that he did possess it
How fitting then to bask in that knowing
To feel so loved and to feel forgiving
Believing in the potential of his own fate
Earning the declared affections of his mate
To see that deadly missile headed his way
Not understanding how it will change his day
It would have been almost instantaneous
Probably unexpected and totally painless
But for those who are left behind
It breaks the heart and crushes the mind
To try to make sense of the tragedy
Lives lost forever and many prematurely
What was there for any to gain
From the unmitigated sorrow and pain?
September 11 brought a new consciousness
What happens to one happens to all of us
Let us down weapons and tools of war
Let us be united once more
Let us work together, me and you
And make our planet a little less blue…
Robert may know this or he may not
But lest September 11 be forgot
He has added another remembering reason
That wonderful Robert Pattinson
That every tragedy like that has a human face
No matter the context, the reason or place
And every life lost in every situation
Has a story worth the time and the narration
And just as he made us love the late Tyler Hawkins
Exactly when he was making his new beginnings
We will love that we can be here to remember
That dreadful day on the 11th of September
And to spend the best of our energy
To never repeat that kind of history
“Remember Me” has created a new way
For us to connect more with that day
Shedding a tear for every Tyler and their families
Uniting us in our collective memories…
So to our global friends in New York and America,
Stay strong, may your God bless and protect ya!
