An Acrostic Date - September 11
Some events, in each generation, significantly, our lives do sway
Everyone remembers the same exact moment as if it occurred yesterday
Past history that stays in our minds, moments we cannot forget
Terror reigned upon our countrymen from an unknown threat
Even now the vision still haunts us, as many the pilgrimage make
Memorials stand now where towers stood before and pictures the visitors take
Buried beneath the now sacred ground are souls forever lost
Energies spent on security tightening is the ultimate cost
Remember forever the events of that day and lives lost in trying to right it
1 day of terror from a stealthy foe and
1 decade now trying to fight it
