9-11

(An American tribute by my daughter)

The sky is blue and the sun is bright

There is not one cloud in sight

People walking in a hurry, just out of bed

No one could foresee what lay ahead

Everyone was going about their normal day

Some going to work and some going to play

Then out of nowhere the evil came

Now nothing will ever be the same

When the first plane crashed into our tower

Everyone stood there, helpless, knowing we had no power

The tower started to burn, with people trapped inside

Knowing they'd never see their families again

All they could do is cry

Some jumping out to their death, some running about

Some just lying there quietly, knowing there was no way out

Before emergency crews could react

A second plane came to attack

Ripping through the second tower, the plane burst into flames

Not one life would be the same

People sobbing in the street

As the towers came crumbling down at their feet

Everyone was running frantically

Trying to escape the big cloud of dust

If they wanted to live, they knew they must

Thousands of rescue workers and firefighters gave their lives

Trying to save the ones lost inside

Some made it out and some did not

But we know in our heart, they all fought

All that remains at the site where the towers stood tall

Is a bunch of dust and metal

And we know we have a score to settle

America lost so much that day

But we will stand strong, No one gets in our way

We were attacked by a "Faceless Coward"

But together with God on our side, we have all the power

With our love, pride, and our brave men

America will get through this - We Will Win!

 

 

September 11, 2001 - We will remember!

Dedicated to all those who lost their lives on that tragic day

 

God Bless America
