September 11th

We never had a tragedy that caused so much hestitation,
Until the day that shocked our nation.
One airplane crashed into the North Tower
and I sit here at school wondering if we still have our power.
As the North Tower blows up in flames,
here comes a second hijacked plane.
What is going through our minds is plenty enough,
and now seeing it on t.v. makes even more tough.
People in the streets stand shocked and scared,
as cops and firefighters have so much belief and care.
Debris and ashes fly through the air,
as people franticly wonder if their loved one is still in there.
The South Tower began to fall
with people and all.
Soon after, the North Tower fall to the ground.
For hours, searchers look in hopes people will be found.
Minutes turned into hours as hours turned into days.
News stations show firefighters stopping to pray.
Too much disappointment; too many tears.
Our minds filled with anger; our hearts fill with fear.
Us Americans weren't the only ones that knew,
what kind of heartache and trouble we were going through.
We will not fall apart;
We will fight back and stand up to every fight that starts.
There is no reason why
we should let our freedom die.
Our flag still waves as it stands.
"Our flag was still there" will always be
a special meaning to others and to me.
But as our flag still waves,
We are the "Home of the Brave!"
