What Do We Tell the Children?

Judith Viorst

Wednesday, September 11, 2002; Page A17

If we can't promise

That it will never happen again,

Or that it won't, if it happens again,

Happen to them,

Or that if it does happen again,

And this time to them,

We will come save them,

Or that, if we can't save them,

Somebody else will,

Or that, if no one can save them,

It won't hurt,

Or it won't hurt that much,

Or it won't hurt that long,

Could we tell them

To please stop asking so many questions?
