The story of September 11
Of tears and pain
Sorrow and cruelty
Nothing has ever hurt me more
than my fellow Americans
Killed at the hands of
Terrorism
We are deprived of your love and glowing smiles
Your gift of happiness
Tearing through the darkness of eternity
The bent metal and gas that tried to destroy the bond of America
Not yet ready to abandon the responsibility, mission you were set out to accomplish
Building upon your lives with the
Trust, happiness and hardships of life
Appreciating what you discovered through the
Virtue of life
Impacting and improving
Our lives for generation to come
We learn of your lives through the technologyof
America
Not yet accepting the truth
Discovering you hobbies only to see the sun rise in the morning
Determining
The truth behind life and death
Your families endure the aching silence of your unpredictable
Departure
We stand together in a circle of
love
To block the hatred
Only to tell the story of your death
The truth behind the action
Confusion stands in the way of your path to going on and leaving this behind
That horror
Ringing and pounding in the back of your minds
Wondering what happened that day of September 11
War and terrorism can no longer haunt your souls
Enslave you ino a world of terror
We honor your heroism with the love and energy produced from our lives
These words
Our love
