Who can forget?
That fateful day
That life as we all knew it
Was taken away

As we kissed our loved ones good-bye
And hurried to our cars
Oblivious of the evil in the sky
From a land so very far

As we hit the copy machine for errors
As we said hello to our friends
There came nineteen agents of terror
A sinister plot would begin

They pretended to be like us
As they boarded our planes
Though hatred of everything about us
Like cancer, infested their brains

As we did what Americans do!
Work hard for what we love
Four planes with passengers and crews
Were high-jacked up above

As spouses entered the twin towers
As someone’s child played in the daycare
With fuel, speed, and great power
Came a jet screaming through the air

First one tower and then the other
As we watched in shock and dismay
Our mothers, sisters, brothers
In an instant were taken away

Then a third plane hit the Pentagon
As this attack on our country kept going
On our own soil this attack had begun
All with out us even knowing

But a fourth strike would not be
Because of some very brave souls
They marched down the isle of flight 93
To the battle cry, “Let’s Roll!”

Though they too lost their lives
We take solace in this one fact
Because of them no one in the capital lost their lives
As a result of this terrorist attack

So we remember the three thousand souls that went away
And we pray as they look down from heaven
That we never experience a day like that day
September the Eleventh
