September eleventh

two thousand one,

the day Afghanistan,

thought they had won.

~

It’s kind of funny,

they claim defeat,

but inside they know,

the US can’t be beat.

~

Plane to building,

smoke in the sky,

on this tragic day,

so many innocent people died.

~

Just another normal day,

go to work, get on a jet,

but this normal day,

is one we won’t forget.

~

America was robbed,

and taken was life,

so hold your baby,

and hug your wife.

~

Thank the Lord,

for each new tomorrow,

as America’s people,

feel each others sorrow.

~

This terrorist attack,

left a gash in our hearts,

but now Americans,

are no longer apart.

~

We’ve come together

to lend a hand,

we stand proud

on the US land.

~

Lady Liberty

strong and true,

is still standing,

and watching over you.

~

Fire fighters and police,

risked life and limb

They risked it all,

in a situation so grim.

~

A day of loss,

a day of mourning,

a day that changed history,

at 8:48 in the morning.

~

Tears on our faces,

along with a frown,

but that doesn’t mean America

is going to back down.

~

A day in history,

is what I tell,

this day in America,

when the twin towers fell.
