Today I weep for my friend’s child
9-11-01
Such sadness, shock and tragedy
Has taken one so young

Away to the city she did go
To embrace all of life
She gleamed and shone
With grace she handled strife

If someone had a problem
Or someone shed a tear
All her friends and workplace pals
Knew Susie would be there

The gifts she left for all of us
Her laughter, wit and love
Will overcome all terror’s hate
God knows this, He above

How can we ever understand
The hate that struck that day
And took my dear friend’s precious child
All we can do is pray                                                     Written 9/12/01 Diane Findlen Garrow in memory Susan Leigh Blair
