Strengthened By Evil

Memorials

Looking back upon that day,

it makes me want to cry.

September Eleventh has came and went,

and nobody can tell me why.



Sadness swept through our nation,

and evil stared us in the eyes.

But we managed to unite as one,

and still the eagle flies.



Our nation was built on a firm foundation

that only God could break,

And Satan and his followers

will never get that chance to take.



Although we must work together

to maintain a watchful eye,

We cannot let fear overcome us,

We cannot lay down and cry.

Hi Teresa,
You know, whether you ever decide to work on this poem again or not, I think it works. There might be more you wanted to convey, but I think it stands well as is - sums up the emotion felt by everyone in your nation at the time, I think, and even now, several months on. Good work - not just this one, but the all I've read. Hope life brings you all you desire! - Always, Essie =)
