Lest We Forget

On that fateful day
We lost many innocent lives
When the two planes hit the twin towers
It sent us into shock and confusion
Not knowing what was going on
Wondering if it was an accident or terrorist attack
Everywhere everyone screamed and panicked
We watched in horror as people plummeted to their death from hundreds of feet
Fires burning from various levels
Many were told to stay put
That rescue would come,
But little did they know the crew would be wrong
Parts of the building, dust, ash, and smoke fell or poured through holes in the building
Many sacrificed their lives to save others
Phones stopped working
Papers from great heights fell to the ground
You could hear disturbing cries for help
Relatives trying to phone in to see if loved ones survived
Everyone cried, scared for theirs and others lives
Friends call out looking and searching for others
When the towers fell everyone ran for their lives
As we stood watching the television,
Or listening to the radio we gathered and cried
So many injured and death on that sad, sad day
Family, friends, and coworkers dead or trapped
Heart break filled everyone
Prayers were heard all over the world
To this day we have a moment of silence
For family, friends, and strangers all over the world,
For the brave men and woman.
We will NEVER forget that fateful day called 9/11.
