Twenty Three Years Ago

America Changed

Twenty three years

Ago

We were broken

As those towers fell

And those plane crashed.

Twenty three years

Ago

Heroism was defined

In the faces of those

We lost

And the ones

Left behind.

Twenty three

Years ago

I found myself

Having to explain

To children

That in that

Moment we were

Safe

But sadly many

Were not.

Twenty three years

Ago we all prayed

No matter our faith.

Twenty three years

Ago

We watched as

Heroes

Walked amongst the

Rubble

Risking their

Lives

To save another.
