Description
Handwritten poem left at the 9/11 Memorial in memory of Lukasz Tomasz Milewski. The poem reads:

"A loved ones loss
is very hard
it can tear
families hearts apart

On 9/11
a very sad day
my uncle Lukasz
was taken away
it's unfair for
such an innocent man
to be taken by
an evil plan

On this day,
many innocent lives
were taken high
up to the sky
amongst the many
Lukasz was there
his family had
many prayers

I never met him
but one thing I know
is that I wish I had
a chance to say hello
I love you Lukasz,
I hope you know
9/11 is something
I'll never let go."
