It’s been 7 years since America became a changed nation. Our world was brought to a sudden hault on 9/11 when terrorists crashed through the World Trade Center, and Flight 93 took control of their destiny to save a nation.  Each year, we take time to remember.  While it’s been 7 years, the pain is still fresh, and the memory still stays there like it was yesterday…..  We must tell our children what happened that day, and pray that the same thing shall not happen during their lifetime as well.  For days, our life was impacted, family lost loved ones, and everybody in the world became one.  Today, we are still recovering from the attack, and while we are healing-we will never forget…..

Read the poem that I have written below—in memory of September 11th.

 

IN REMEMBERANCE OF

The day that America cried,
The day that we as a nation, almost lost our pride.
‘Tis was a sad and heartfelt day,
I believe that the memories will never fade away.

Our heroes who fought for their lives to save the next target,
The heroes who worked day and night, to rescue the wounded
This was the time that our nation came together as one,
As we united and mourned together of the tragic events that struck our life

America and its generation will never be the same,
Or will we live without fear or pain…
Our minds are grief stricken…
Our hearts are broken…

This is a time for healing,
A time for uniting
A time to pray
Not to run away…

America, our nation, we are scared and hurting for those at war,
For those who lost their lives.
But we as a people,
Shall stand together,
To unite and protect
Our fathered land.
