To The Heroes and Victims of the September 11th Tragedy.
Our day
began like any other, that warm late summer morn.
The sun shone bright against a sky, no different than the norm.
We each embarked upon our roads to go our daily way.
Never knowing that our lives would change this very day.
Amidst the sky that once produced a tranquil sea of light.
A message sent, evil intent, upon a fated flight.
Then again, amidst our shock, before our very eyes.
A second tragic message sent, with the same disguise.
Despite our shock, amidst our grief, the news continued on.
Other perils, in effect, new targets set upon.
As victims screamed, prayed and ran, seeking ways of flight.
Heroes rushed into the din, jumping to the fight.
But evil would prevail this day, despite our gallant struggle.
As smoke and flames would have their way reducing hope to rubble.
Freedom has been attacked this day, by evil pawns of fear,
Leaving scars in memories of those we all held dear.
A nation mourns, unites, and vows, It's flag it proudly waves.
A time has come to right the wrong beneath a flag that saves.
Many hero and innocent have lost their lives this day.
Forever may we honor them everytime we pray.
