That Tragic September Day

I remember the dream of a terrible accident

someone had been hurt on a September day

I saw a body, the paramedics, in a haze

and... I watched in horror in my sleep

I felt the anguish of a dream, a premonition

of what would come in the near future

I couldn't see his face , knew not what to do

who to warn, who to save, oh what a fate

I saw an angel hovering over a limp body

whispering soft words, a tremble of fear

I felt the dirt under my nails, the smell

of blood, painful cries of those nearby

I remember the chilling phone call...aching silence

as the nightmare unfolded a tragic reality

I knew who was fighting for each breath

as fate played out before our eyes

I cried with your family at the news
sense of strong will & a host of prayers

I had faith you would survive

under a watchful wing you healed..

I remember that day in September

it will haunt me to the end of time

I thought if only I could have warned you

bonded by a dream, silent screams

I remember that day in September...
