May He Never Be Forgotten
It Can't Be Five Years
By Patrick Cartier
If by chance you notice
Tell him to come home
Mention we are still waiting
Surely it can’t be five years
Go to that place
Where days ended
In the inferno
Call out his name
Call loudly with tears
Surely it can’t be five years
Don’t search through ashes
It’s a waste of time
He’s not there
Don’t try to straighten things mangled and turned
Surely it can’t be five years
At first I thought he went up into the great cloud
But I was wrong
Maybe he’s just walking, wondering where we are
If you see him
Say we are waiting
We want him to come home
Surely it can’t be five years
There hasn’t been enough tears
Search among the names
He is the ...One......called James
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers
May God Bless you,
The Cartier Family
