A Poem For Rememberance

Recommended Posts

I wrote this September 12, 2001; you can figure out why.

A tragedy has struck, throughout our land

But today we rebuild, united we stand

You attacked a nation, full of despair

And created a nation of people who care

Through all the pain in the ashes and dust

Our tears keep on falling, but our hearts will not rust

Or crumble like a building, for we are too strong

We fight for the right, we fight against the wrong

United we stand and divided we fall

And through all the heartache, we've conquered them all

For we built this nation, and the songs that we sing

Of mind and of body, as liberty rings

You may knock us down, but we get back on our feet

You cannot knock us out, we know no defeat

Our souls and our spirits, have now become one

To stand against evil, and what it has become

So now we're here together, with our heads in the air

To make our way through, this time of despair

We've made it through ups, we've made it through downs

We've learned many lessons, in our cities and towns

And now we have, an awakening to face

It's time to rise up, and put fear in its place

For we have been struck, and our wounds may be deep

But time will heal, and faith we will keep

And our scars will forever, be etched in the wood

But the tree of life, will always stand for the good

Though the blood of our Americans, causes us pain

Our freedom and hope, will always remain

Through all the pain in the ashes and dust

That about sums it all up in one stanza. I remember seeing the plane crash into the first tower and we all thought it was some made-for-tv movie we were watcing that was just on in the background. Then when it was on every channel we flicked through the reality started to sink in. It was just so surrealistic and utterly unbelievable, I don't quite remember what went through my mind as I realised what was happening.

For all those who lost someone and for all the American people and anyone with a heart, this will be something that is never forgotten. :(
