September 11th

Through charcoal ash covered sands of time in history September 11th, 2001 we'll never forget Brave men and women quick to help without thoughts of regret So many watched on t.v, faces streaming with tears Some prayed like crazy for loved ones hoping no one would confirm their greatest fears First tower struck, struck fear in our hearts Still, communities held together while some worlds felt they were falling apart Thought to be an accidental fluke was the first 767 that crashed Approximately 18 minutes later as her twin tower was struck it was clear an attack was being lashed Foundation of buildings built strong to last Still couldn't withstand heat from the jet fuel among impact of the blast Brave men and women worked hard to evacuate and do what they could Meanwhile, there was trouble at the Pentagon in their neck of the woods News came that among the World Trade Center the Pentagon was also hit People collapsed as standing structures did to silently prey where they sit Yet, another plane crashed in a Pennsylvania field Passengers aboard didn't make it but died as heroes with their battle with terrorists they didn't stop or yield Where were you on this devastating day? Where ever it was I hope you were among others who did pray The world is still turning For loved ones lost, some are still yearning Permanent smokey images sketched of falling debri and structures burning Lingering thoughts have hearts and stomachs still churning Nothing could have prepared anyone for the destruction and heartache to come with those four flights Light a candle for lost innocent brave souls, heroes, and survivors on this night
