That Frightful Day

That Frightful Day It was Tuesday, The world was told. That terror filled the skies, With murder cold and bold. Americans are secure, Our world is safe we said. We work in total comfort, Rest securely in our bed. September is a lovely month, Along the Eastern shores. Turning leaves and autumn breeze, Shouting peace, forevermore. The eleventh day began the same, With warm winds and shining sun. Our dreams were real, our hopes were high, It was the year double o' one. What were those planes doing in the town, Why were they flying so low? The world's twin towers would soon come down, All would surely know. New York will never be the same, Nor will the U S A. People now stand hand in hand, Because of that frightful day. Americans are now united, Our new-found faith will stay. You and I will conquer, If we take the time to pray. God gave His Son to guide us, With a message of Peace and Joy. Love and understanding, If His glory we employ. RAYMOND V. MORGAN
