the sun will come up tomorrow

but not for those who died today

and there are no magic words to bring them back

that anyone could say

life will go on tomorrow

but not the same as yesterday

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

on this day

parents lost children

children lost parents

wives lost husbands

and husbands lost wives

friends lost friends

family lost family

we lost heroes

New York lost everything

and the U.S. was at a complete stop

we were scared

we were worried

frantically calling family and friends

scared that something else may happen

confused

the terrorists took lives

they took hearts

and they took souls

but you know what they didn't take?

our spirits

we will stand strong

the United States of America

its in our name

we are United

we will never forget
