With Blink Of Eye 


The mighty eagle weeps today


For children lost, upon this day


Two years ago, by terror’s hand


Three thousand taken from our land


 


Stunned, we watched the Towers fall


In sad amaze, we still recall


Paralyzed by grief and pain


As ashes from the sky did rain


 


A nation, taken by surprise


As evil loomed in fine disguise


With freedom, comes the hardened fact


That we might be, somehow, attacked


 


With blink of eye, we all had changed


Seems all of life was rearranged


Our safety and our innocence


Lost at the hand of violence


 


But proud and strong the eagle flies


And from the rubble, she did rise


Although the sadness still remains


The strength of freedom, ever reigns


 


So as we muddle through today


Recall the people, lost that day


Understand the truth that be


The price for freedom, is never free

Fantastic words to live by and I hope it has inspired countless people to stand their resolve and support our efforts to root out these evil people and destroy them. However, it wasn't a surprise at all I don't think, please read the article I have posted on my site. Great poem.
