"On That Day" Where were you on that day 13 years ago Do you remember? I was sitting at home Just another cold day in September It was a typical day of the week for me As i was getting my kids ready for school Never have I thought about How the day was going to be cruel I turned on the television After my kids got on the bus And I was wondering out loud Why the news was making such a fuss I watched what was happening in my home state The state where Lady Liberty calls home And a feeling of anguish swept over me And suddenly I felt so alone My heart was weeping as I watched What unfolded on that somber day My soul felt like it was ripped from me I hope it wouldn't be led astray Never have I heard Lady Liberty cry Over the pain she felt in her heart Looking out among the towers As her people were falling apart With just seconds to decide on what to do She couldn't speak, she couldn't move She was stunned in silence and frozen in place What she saw before her a complete disgrace She felt she failed the ones she swore to protect As she saw the towers start tumbling down Her people silently saying their last goodbyes She knew she would have a permanent frown Even with all the showers of flames And all the smoke like billowy clouds There could be seen a glimmer of hope As she fought to be unbowed There was a lot of destruction And certainly a lot of dismay But in the aftermath of it all Humanity would not be led astray We will never forget what happened Never again will we be divided This day will live in infamy forever We will never again be blindsided "On That Day" "Ode To The Fallen" © 2025 Mira |
