A Band of Brothers

A band of brothers rushed through the door Suddenly a thunderous roar was heard and hey were no more A giant cloud enveloping all in it’s way Tuning everything to night where once before there was day Powdery white dust everywhere Stinging one’s eyes and polluting the air He sounds of sirens heard everywhere But safety and shelter wee found no where Someone said many were trapped inside It was there and then I began to cry So many lost on that day So many lives taken away These souls taken from their loved ones For no reason for it was nothing that they had done We stand by and watched and prayed Yet hope grows dim with each passing day We offer our prayers and honor their memory We give courage to their family And as they look down on us this day They know that those who have done this will pay
