In Remembrance of 9/11

Remember,
Always remember.
Cry for those lost, grieve for those never found.

Remember that day?
It was a day just like any other.
People going to work, people flying home, people walking on the street going on their way, children laughing, loved one’s kissing their loved one’s good-bye, thinking what a beautiful September day.

We did not know
We did not see
How could we?

Then it happened, and the world watched in shock,
As the first plane hit the tower,
Then the next,
We all watched in horror as they fell to the ground.
We came to a standstill, learning about our fellow Americans fate.
The lives at the Pentagon and the fighters of flight ’93.

Do you remember the fear? Do you remember the sadness?
All at the hands of terrorists
That took our freedom on that day.

To shed so much blood,
To instill so much anger
What happened to the love and laughter?

The families that lost all hope, the mothers that lost their sons, the children that lost their parents, the wives, husbands, fathers, brothers, sisters, and friends, we all lost that day.

We watched in silence as American burned, we watched in horror the witnesses of a mass murderer.

The calls came in “Honey please don’t cry, I love you, tell the kids goodbye”
“Be strong for me mom, I’ll see you in heaven”

Some waited in silence, waiting for the phone to ring, the phone never rang, they never got to say goodbye. Instead they watched on T.V. their loved one’s die.
They never came home, never walked through the door, never sat down to dinner,
Never said “I Love You” again.

Do you remember?
Do you still fear?
Do you understand the hatred that destroyed our country that day?
Do you ask why?

I do.
I will remember,
I will cry,
I will mourn the life, freedom and soul we lost on that day.
