Remember September 11, 2007
Another bright September day,
Another sun-filled sky.
She stands her ground with endless pride,
As planes above her fly.
She looks upon her children,
Her loved ones dear to heart.
As they go through their normal chores,
Some only just to start.
But soon the peace was shattered,
As men so filled with hate.
Soon turned their rage to senseless acts,
To meet their horrid fate.
First one and then another hit,
Impossible to seem.
Two other impacts hit elsewhere,
As in a horrid dream.
Tho some did fight the evil,
As heroes they had died.
And as the proud twins met their fall,
Our Lady Liberty cried.
*Drive with your headlights on today in memory of 9/11. Pass it on.*
“My country ’tis of the, sweet land of liberty!”
That was a beautiful poem. Sigh. Remember those who are fighting to keep our freedom!!
Thank you Lord that men still love their country and are willing to lay down their lives for their friends!
My hat is off to Matthew! Thank you!
Yes, thank you doesn’t seem like enough. But thank you Matthew. And Lee. And Jerry.
Very nice poem. And, yes, thanks so much to all the soldiers. I actually have a class with a Marine here at Bryan. He’s a small group that gave a presentation in class and they showed clips from “The Patriot”. He then said, “If that doesn’t get you excited, you might have a problem.”
Wow, that’s cool. That is such a good movie. So sad but so good. And yeah, he’s right. You’d have to be pretty hard for that not to effect you….
Well you may actually have a class with a Marine, but I have a brother that’s a Marine. And he can beat up your class mate.
Wow, Marines are everywhere!!!! Brian has a brother in the Marines too!!!!! I hear his is pretty strong too….he might could beat yours up Kev….
Beautiful poem! May we never forget those who lost their lives on that terrible day.
This is very emotional from a fire fighters point of view! GO FD!
