: Where were you when they flew?
:
: Where were you when they flew?
: The sky was peaceful and blue.
: I was in bed just dreaming
: My boyfriend called me nearly screaming.
: I awoke with a sudden start.
: Be still and calm my heart!
: The planes had crashed three places.
: Their loved ones miss their faces.
: This's like the Harbor of Pearl
: Angels wings were at the whirl.
: Everyone but the hijackers heaven bound.
: Screams, crashes, sirens,a terrible sound.
: We forget who we are today
: We are all from the USA
: Those that came from far away
: and residents here.We will say
: Stand tall and proud America, dear.
: We'll help you cease to fear.
: Those that stand against us will
: fail in bending us their will.
:
: How can we help the victims?
: Their families won't see happy grins.
: How do we explain the sorrow
: to the kids waiting for tomorrow?
: Their hopes for family members rescued
: Rain and tears are by rage subdued
: We will fight to free those trapped
: Some are by grief's tears sapped
: Turn off the television go outside
: look around and go for a ride
: Take a break from the news
: get rid of the giant blues.
: Go to a park, 'forget' a while
: we must remember we need smiles
: Read or write take off an hour
: Feelings will come full of power
: Grief anger sorrow denial and pain
: We will always feel these again
: We will remember those that died
: We will help those that survived
: Trade Centers gone from NY Skyline.
: Pentagon's side crumbled in diagonal line.
: We will remember all those gone
: Never forgetting as we go on.
