In Loving Memory of my brother
Thomas N. Pecorelli
who was killed on American Airlines Flight 11

The Day My World Stopped Turning

This day was not supposed to be like this a day just like any other

It was the day my world stopped turning and I lost my only brother

The news I watched and what I saw had embedded in my mind

How can so much evil be out there and kill innocent mankind

Each day I struggle with the loss that we cannot get through

I think of Tom and the life he led and how this can't be true

I saw him Sunday with a gleam and glitter in his eye

For what he was carrying was priceless something you can't buy

He had the ultrasound of his son the one he would never know

He carried that proudly with him for the whole world to show

He lived a life so full of dreams all which came true

When he married Kia we all knew the dreams he would pursue

A beach set wedding so many friends that came from far and near

To witness the love they have and this was a big affair

His job was one he filled with hope and longed to be in the eye

Never did we ever think our Tommy was chosen to die

Not a day goes by without a tear that streams down on my face

The memories of this horrific day are ones I can't erase

I see his photos with smiles so wide so beautiful he was

He died by the hands of someone evil all just because

His wife is carrying something special and so new

My dear Tommy that someone is going to be just like YOU

The son you always wanted the boy you will not see

I know you are watching over him and will always be

I know you are in heaven and at peace watching down on us

Please forgive the tears we shed and the way we make a fuss

You were special to each and everyone showing how much you cared

And this is a situation which is almost too hard to bear

When you see my tears can you wipe them away for it is something I can't do

My love for you my brother holds strong from me to You
