That Frightful Day - 911

THAT FRIGHTFUL DAY It was a Tuesday, The world was told. Terror filled the skies, 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 shore. With turning leaves and autumn breeze, Shouting peace forevermore. The eleventh day began the same, Warm winds and shining sun. Our dreams were real, our hopes were high, In the year twenty double o' one. What were these planes doing in the town, Why were they flying so low. The world's twin towers would soon come down, Then 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 newfound faith must 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. With love and understanding, If His Glory we employ. RAYMOND V. MORGAN
