Comes now the
day when innocence was lost,
We remember the day,
forget not the cost,
Of innocent people gone almost a
year,
We think of them now, and still shed a
tear.
Thousands of families trying to cope,
With
consuming grief and very little hope,
Relentlessly
looking for answers to find,
Seeking so hard to find
peace of mind.
Husbands and wives gone now
forever,
Sad thoughts of them impossible to
sever.
Never forgotten our memories linger
on,
What happened that day, and how it went
wrong
In bright morning sun there appeared in the
sky,
A plane off it’s course, soon thousands would
die.
Not knowing at first this was no
accident,
But a mission in progress by terrorists
hell bent.
The Twin Towers loomed, and they were the
goal,
Of those who were lacking, both heart and a
soul,
Obvious that soon they would forcefully
impact,
No time for action, no way to turn
back.
Joined by a second plane, shortly
thereafter,
Adding to the book of life, yet one more
chapter.
And fire and smoke filled the sky all
around,
While panic set in for those still on the
ground.
The brave and courageous appeared
everywhere,
Even giving their lives, to show that
they cared.
And soon it was heard, as the morning
wore on,
Another hit made, this time the
Pentagon.
And if not for brave souls, in the skies
over PA,
Who tried and prevented, another target that
day.
They took up the challenge and answered the
call,
Their reward is in Heaven, as they too, gave
their all.
And so it is true, that we’ll always
remember,
Each fall that comes round, the 11th of
September.
And pause for a minute to utter a
prayer
Remembering those gone and showing we care.
