Tribute To September 11th
Its been 14 years ago
Its still hard to believe
That so many lives were taken
Still so many families to grieve
On a normal day as this
People trying to make a living and go to work
Not knowing on this day our hearts would experience so much hurt
A sad day yes it was
Cruel people hurt our nation just because
United we were
United we stand
Help us now please lend a hand
People didn't get a chance
To live the rest of their life
It was cut short
A plan to accomplish many things
So many great Queens and Kings
And then all of a sudden
On that day
Things started to feel strange
Two planes went into the twin tower
And I watched on the news for hours
As I sat and watch the building collapse
I thought it was a dream
How could someone be so cruel and mean
3,000 or perhaps more
In a twinkle ?? of an eye was gone
But we have to stand as one to remain strong
So many husbands, wife's, daughters brothers, sisters and friends
On this day they're life did end
As smoke clouded the air
I realized that it wasn't fair
Life that is
How could you take something
You didn't give
On this day so many rescuers
Tried to help
Families being notified
That their loved ones were in a tragedy
From New York, to ,Pennsylvania, to Washington D.C.
The United states was shattered
We took a big lost
So now I give a moment of silence
For the ones who Lost their families to violence
I salute you and im hear
And my prayers for peace and understanding are sincere
Even a decade and a half later
It still seems so fresh
That only thing we have are memories
They are no longer here in the flesh
I look at the wall
With all the names
And realize that things are not the same
I pray for the families and friends
That your heart will somehow come to a mend
Right now I raise my hand ? and say
That I love you all everyday
Although we cant retrack or turn back the hands of time
I wish I could
To undo these sad memories
And restore them with good
We shall overcome
And we have overcame
Although we have experienced lost
We will know what it feels to Gain
Gain faith gain belief
Those are the two things that will help us overcome this grief
We shall not cease
But let your voice be heard
Not a day goes by
That you are not in our thoughts
And with this battle its already been fault
Days will pass by and so will years
But one day we will overcome our fears
When I speak of fears
I mean living
Without being scared
Finding your purpose
Knowing people cared
And being thankful
That with our lives they were spared
Keep your head up
Dont Lose sight
Reach the Highest mountain
Climb til you cant stop
Know that your a conqueror
You will reach the top
All of your loved ones are smiling down on you in heaven
This is my tribute to you
In remembrance of 9/11
