What I Saw...

What I saw...

Is permanently etched right on my mind
Nine One One draws near--I cannot forget
Why can't I forget? Why can't I rewind?
When I close my eyes...it still haunts me, yet...

It was a lovely September morning
The beginning of a perfect, brand new day
Suddenly, terror struck with no warning
We watched in horror, we watched in dismay

Two airplanes aiming straight for the Towers
Looked like a movie--it couldn't be real
Smoke and flames blooming like evil flowers
Would a movie make your insides congeal?

Horrified, I couldn't turn off the news
Again, again, the t.v. screen displayed
Image after image, I sadly viewed
I felt the fear, helplessness and dismay

Towers burning, the Pentagon as well
People were jumping from the dizzy heights
Another plane down, the Twin Towers fell
I will be haunted by the ghastly sights

Heroes were killed when the Twin Towers roared
Spewing a dust cloud from the pits of hell
The horror kept increasing--more and more
I couldn't turn away...I watched, compelled

I know I'll never, ever, be the same
It still invokes feelings that are still raw
Images repeated, shown frame by frame
I'll always be haunted by what I saw

What I saw.....

(C) Karla Dorman, 2003

(((Joyce))), I will always remember and never forget. :(

Heartwrenching write, Karla; eloquently and expertly expressed! We were forever changed that day, and we should NEVER forget what our country experienced two years ago this coming Thursday. God help our nation in this time of uncertainty, and may He bless and protect our land from further attacks! :( >tears < (((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn.
