Poems In Memory Of 9-11-01 They snuck up behind us
when our guard was down.
The blasts were felt
in every city and town.
They thought that by this,
we would all crumble.
That America would break,
her freedom would tumble.
But they weren't prepared
for our retaliation,
from an angry, hurt
and grieving nation.
They didn't expect us
to rise from the ashes,
but swiftly we did
while smoke still rose from the crashes.
They caused so much aching
so many of us died,
but they weren't expecting
our strong American Pride!
Yes, we became stronger
so much more united.
Our determination grew,
our spirits ignited!
Our flags flew in unison,
their colors never more bright.
They have flown every morning since,
every day and every night.
They felt the talons
of our sharp eagle claws.
Their underestimation of us,
was their biggest of flaws.
On that Septemeber 11'th,
as we watched buildings burn and fall,
American's stumbled,
but we're still standing tall!!!!
