911 Memories Again and Again
911 Memories Again and Again
911 will live on again and again in the
thoughts and memories of each generation
present when it had occurred. My poem
may be a little late but it is never too
late to give these people our thanks
and prayers.
James Thomas Horn
While we were remembering her and him
What about monsters we will call them
Much grief and horror each one caused
We pray and a few minutes have paused.
Can you try to imagine brief interlude
People mangled and killed by multitude
Each of us stood there baffled and dazed
Dead poor souls forever we have praised.
We had hearts that did pound and pound
Watching tall buildings hitting the ground
Safe and sound here at home we all are
Seeing their soul in each firm, fixed star.
See friends in face of moon as it does glow
And we want to let dead loved ones know
Life you lived for us was beyond compare
Are now with God high in heaven up there.
