Nine Eleven 2001

A day
That I’ll always remember
A very somber DAY
A very sad day
A day to ponder
A day to wonder
A day
Not like any other day
A very unusual day
A day to pray
A day to say
A day of madness
A day of sadness
Oh! my God
A very crazy day
A day to respect the Lord
A day of hell
A day to hail
The Almighty
With respect and dignity
A day of outrage
A day to be wise and sage
A day of extreme confusion
A day of ebullition
A day to love your neighbor
Your brother and sister
We are all related by blood
We are made of the same mud
Let’s love each other
Mourn and cry together
We should not be killing each other
Let’s shower each other with love
Think and dream of a better tomorrow
Flee the nightmare and the sorrow
Hope is still alive
We will survive, we will survive.

P.S. Dedicated to America.

Thank you so much for all of your comments. That was a very sad and scary day. I was in Clifton, NJ, working as a SBA (CFO) and everybody had come out to see the Twin Towers which were gone, vanished. On a good day, from 46 East, Clifton, N.J., we could see the 'marvelous Twins' and they disappeared, erased from the firmament and we could only see DARK Clouds instead. Wow! Life is very precious, priceless. Carpe diem and ad multos annos! Thank you!
