A YEAR AGO TODAY~9/11



ONE YEAR AGO TODAY, OUR NATION WAS DEVISTATED.

THE ACTIONS OF AN EVIL LEADER, STOPPED THE HEART BEATS OF MANY.

IN DESPAIR ,WE STOOD AND FELT HELPLESS AND HORRIFIED,

AND WE SAW OUR HEROES, THAT SACRAFICED AND DIED.



SEEMS LIKE JUST YESTERDAY, YET OUR HEARTS STILL ACHE,

FOR ONE CRUEL MAN, MANY LIVES HE DID TAKE.

OUR NATION CAME TOGETHER, AND WE STOOD SO TALL,

AS A YEAR AGO TODAY, THE TOWERS TOOK THE FALL.



MANY LIVES WERE TAKEN, MANY SURVIVED,

SO MANY CHILDREN WENT TO BED THAT NIGHT,

NO PARENTS BY THEIR SIDE.

LET'S REMEMBER THEM AS WE HUG OUR OWN TODAY,

IN OUR HEART'S WE CAN SEND A HUG THEIR WAY.



SO MANY KNEW THAT IT WAS THEIR CALLING TO HELP THOSE IN NEED,

AS WITH THEM OUR HEARTS DID BLEED.

GIVING THEIR LIVES TO HELP STRANGERS SO UNKNOWN,

OUR HERO'S NEVER EXPECTED THIS TO BE THE LAST DAWN.



A YEAR AGO TODAY ALL OUR NATION WAS IN PAIN,

AND TODAY ALL THE  MEMORIES STILL REMAIN.

WARNINGS ON THE NEWS, OF THE SAFETY WE MUST SEEK,

HAVING TO WORRY IF HATRED IS STILL ON OUR STREETS.



A YEAR AGO TODAY, BEGAN A PATH IN WHICH WE MUST TROD,

A UNITY OF OUR PEOPLE AND "ONE NATION UNDER GOD."
