We'll never forget that horrible day...September 11, 2001....we shouldn't!


Poem Artwork

 

 
 
Shock and awe still linger
Though ten long years have passed.
The horrors of that fateful day
In our hearts forever last!
 
Pandemonium in the city streets
The whole world held it breath.
Terror completely beyond belief
Brought grief and fear and death!
 
A beautiful city dazed and crushed
Souls forever lost!
For evil’s trip to paradise
The innocent paid the cost!
 
Under siege, the country struggled
With a foe they couldn’t see.
Death in flight, enroute to them
Where would the next strike be?
 
The deadly messengers struck again
With paradise in their sights!
But for evil incarnate there’s no reward
Hell is their only right!
 
Angels watched over the heroes
That took the last plane down!
For their country the ultimate sacrifice
Crushing evil into the ground!
 
Memories tend to fade away
As time slips into the past,
But September memories of 2001
Are guaranteed to last!
 
Though we’ll never truly understand
The evil in human hearts,
We can’t let fear define who we are
Because that’s when tyranny starts!

Such a beautiful tribute. Though we forget about so many historical times in life, this is truly one that will always be in my mind. We must never forget. May God bless you every day of your life.

SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY...AND YOUR WORK REMINDS OF US OF ALL THE THINGS THAT WE WON'T EVER FORGET. IT REMINDS US OF NOT ONLY THE TEARS, THE HEARTACHES, THE LOSS, DEVASTATION AND ANGUISH ENDURED BY EVERY AMERICAN ON THAT FATEFUL DAY, BUT ALSO WE ARE REMINDED OF THE PRIDE, THE GLORY, THE UNITY, THE PERSEVERANCE AND IMPERISHABLE FAITH OF A NATION ESTABLISHED AND HELD TOGETHER...THROUGH IT ALL...BY THE HAND OF ALMIGHTY GOD! A MOST POIGANT AND TIMELY WORK, DONE VERY WELL. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...

On that horrible morning, Anna, my wife, who was bedridden, called me into her room to see the amazing sight of the second plane slamming into the second tower. I do not have to go into our feelings at that time as they were and are as all Americans. I had work to do on that day. My wife asked if I was going to go to work, I said, If I don't go to work, they win. I went to work.
I'll never forget or forgive.
Your friend, Mark.

Like the Assasination of Kennedys, Martin Luther King, the first steps on the moom etc,the dropping of the Bomb etc. 9/11 changed not only the United States but the rest of the world as well and sadly it will never be the same again no matter what.

I'm afraid way too many people have overcome the terror that fateful day gave them, and hardly think of it. Far too many believe President Bush was behind the planes that day. We have, once again, become a complacence nation. Shame, shame on us.

You poem was right on, Anna, but a large majority of the country isn't in tune with your thoughts. I sincerely hope that I am wrong.
