In Memory-September 11, 2001

In honor and loving memory of the fallen heroes and loved ones of September 11, 2001.

Gone but not forgotten

A Nation Cries

Shh, listen carefully, can you hear her?

There's someone softly crying

Her sobbing the only sound.

Hands out, can you feel her tears

Gently falling from the sky?

Proof of a broken heart all around.

Hands together, hearts as one, can we say a prayer?

Peace sent to those gone

And the ones left to cry.

A nation in mourning, we are together, can we heal from this tragedy?

She's left forever scarred

And we are all asking why.

We the people, we are one, we stand together.

Did they think they could make us fall?

It's forever that we shall stand

Human to human, country to country, we begin to come together

Forming a chain of peace.

Together we hold the strength hand in hand.

She cries, she breaks, she bleeds, and she mends.

We shall overcome...there will be a tomorrow.

You're very welcome. That moment of five years ago really hit me and this poem is what came of those feelings.
