“911”
On an early morning in September,
was truly a sad day to remember.
Many people passed away, or were
injured on that day.
Some of their bodies may never be found.
The people and the buildings fell
straight to the ground.
The date signaled help, 911.
A date in the U.S. that will be
remembered by everyone.
People must have felt great pain, to know
loved ones were on those hijacked planes.
It was very depressing to see, what
was the twin towers is now all debris.
The pilots were threatened by men with knives.
So many innocent people lost their lives.
Even though the World Trade Center is now gone,
The people of New York must carry on.
This terrible tragedy was meant to destroy us
and make us hate one another. Instead, it made
us come together and help each other.
Although many loved ones passed away,
you will see their faces again someday.
For the many people who sacrificed
their lives, we hold them close and dear.
They are in a better place where there’s no hate and no fear.
We fly our flags to represent
our United States, of a country
which is still powerful and great!
And though, together the people
of America cried, we still should keep
faith in GOD, our country and pride!
