Remember 911

I often sit and wonder why People do the things they do I am thinking of a day ten years ago When heaven's population grew. I can remember it like it were yesterday For when i heard about it I cried On September 11 2001 So many of our heroes died. Our country who has gone to the aide of many Took a terrible hit that day Our enemies who caught us unaware Took many of our loved ones away. We watched these attacks in hopeless horror And then watched our towers fall But the love and pride that we each have inside Made heroes of us all. On this day ten years ago When we thought things could not get worse The devil touched a misguided people Who delivered to us a curse. On that day we died, we cried We confronted the hatred and fear But regardless of the hatred in this horrible deed America is still right here. We triumphed in ways that they never dreamed Our heroes are all now in heaven We'll forever stand tall as the greatest country of all And always remember 9/11.

Hi..me again...-)) Infuriated by what one our new creeps said in Congress to make little of the cost in human life and suffering. And OF COURSE, to make no mention of the killers. Whom she referred to as... SOMEONE. Her summary. " Someone did something on 9/11" Cruely at its best and a lie, 1st class. Panagiota.

Cannot believe there is no comment to such a great poem. It was a a difficult day. Indeed ...day to recall. Americans have forgotten how great we are. I hope your poem reawakens us all. This poem has depth. Bless you. Panagiota
