Then and Now
It was a day much like today…
That the first stone was thrown
Some presidents were shot to death
Death came from the skies to the towers
Bombs exploded taking lives of true innocents
Guns were taken by the young to kill fellow students
It was a day much like today…
That a resolution came to various wars
There were presidents that were inaugurated
People traveling abroad made it to their destinations
Babies laughed, while awaiting their parents, at daycare
Students were safe and remain so while studying their courses
It is a day like today…
That we should be thankful
For that which is good in the world
Not forgetting the past, but using it to better
The present and the next tomorrow for us and for all
