9-11

The day that tragedy struck the land,
We watched two buildings fall like sand.
We saw the face of death firsthand.
To this day, we don't understand.

The day in which we will remember.
The day where families were changed forever.
On this day we gather together,
To honor those who died in September.

But every day we must go on.
Accept that those we love are gone.
Try not to stay awake past dawn,
Thinking of those who have passed on.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
