David Hall Poet I do not know?

Heroes

The labor day weekend was over
Another school year had begun
But what happened next
We will never forget
Nine Eleven Two Thousand and One

They started their day like always
Hugged their families and told them goodbye
But they didn't know
How far those words would go
And how that  night, their families would cry

New Yorks's finest ran towards the Twin Towers
While most people were running away
Helping strangers and  friends
Knowing their life might end
But that's just the price real heroes pay

While those cowards were boarding the airplanes
Thank God heroes were boarding them too
But cowards don't know
How far heroes will go
To save people just like me and you

So remember when telling this story
To your own children's daughters and sons
Tell the price heroes paid
On that late Summer day
Nine Eleven Two Thousand and One
