We Remember the Day

We remember the date

Forever etched in our mind

The sites and sounds

Images played on the T.V,

The loss and pain

As we saw

Lives go down

With those towers

When they crumbled

Like a house

Of cards.

We heard the tears

Of loved ones

Waiting to hear

And the pain of heroes

Risking it all

For a glimmer of hope.

We heard stories

Of men carrying the

Disabled to safety

And going back to save more.

And we saw men

Jump in desperation

Not wanting to be crushed

By the weight of 110 stories.

We watched as

A priest gave last rites

And in a sad

Twist of fate

Had his last rights

Given
