9/11

Where were you when the towers fell?
Were you alone or with someone you love

I was with my family that day
when the planes hit New York

and Shanksville
a close shave

I wasn’t there when the smoke filled the sky
I wasn’t there to comfort those who cried
I wasn’t there when innocence died

But I was there praying inside
I was there when the firefighters

and police helped all those
who were practically dead

on their feet

They were the ones
who where there
that fateful day

It is in their memories
I write this today

To all the families
of those who died

The firemen, police
and unknown

I hold you in my heart
forever my flag will fly

No one will break
my spirit like that day
I will forever love

The country
where I was born
and raised

So for any of you
who still blame us
for shame

We were not to blame
for what happened that day
