September 11, 2001: A Day to be Remembered

A national disaster occurred this day,
our hearts go out each time we pray,
For those we loved,
And those we lost,
And those who mourn death's bitter frost.

Our nation is shocked,
And it's standing by,
While airplanes are no longer seen in the sky.

The question that's on everyone's mind
Is, who is this enemy
Who leaves destruction behind?

Who is this terrorist
Who committed this cowardly act?
That left part of the country barely intact.

Yesterday morning
We had no thought
That something like this
Could ever be wrought.

This morning,
Because of those kamikaze acts,
The World Trade Center, and the Pentagon
Are no longer intact.
