It just took one day To grab our attention There’s not much to say But lots of reflection. The airplanes they flew Wreaking havoc on all No one had a clue That the towers would fall. Such cowards with hate They claimed so many lives On that terrible date Left husbands without wives. So many were lost Our sisters and brothers Their lives were the cost Plus fathers and mothers. Many stood with awe They were asking why For what they just saw Coming out of the sky. Such terror and fear And so quickly they hit The end may be here Should I run, stand or sit? The heroes did save As many as they could For their lives they gave Not knowing that they would. People hung their flags Keeping their families near Many body bags This horror wasn’t clear. Honoring that morn Our eyes begin to fill The world was torn America stood still.
