It came without warning
the morning of our mourning
shocking and surreal
we will forever feel
the sorrow of that September
we shall always remember
the cruelty of the day
that eventually gave way
to the emergence of heroes
there at Ground Zero,
assault to homeland's cost
as precious lives were lost,
and the pledge we cling to yet,
"America shall never forget."
