I wrote this today... - just thought I would share.

I have been watchingthe coverage of 9-11 today on and off. The feelings of sadness,anger, and confusion I felt in 2001 have never really left. Anyway I sat down to write it out and here is what I ended up with

It does not seem 5 years have passed
since our security was shattered.
The day that,through the horror,
taught us all what really mattered
Our children's laugh
Our spouse's kiss
The voice of a dear friend
The memories of all those lost
that we replay again

It is the day that taught us fear
the kind we'd never known.
The day that brought uncertainty
into each and every home
The day that changed the way our history will be told.
The day that death did not discriminate
between the young and old.

The day that made heros
on an ordinary plane.
The day we came together
knowing nothing was the same.
The day that showed us all what America can do.
The day that made each of us weep
for those we never knew-

The pain and sadness of this day
lingers with us-every one-
And even though our tears still fall
the healing has begun.
Our Flag still flies
We still are FREE
Those men,they did not win!
They may have knocked our country down
But We got UP again!!
