A Day I will never forget. . .



The day began just as always.
We started out with prayers and coffee.
Only then to turn a switch, what I saw must be a glitch.
Chaos, confusion, people running and people falling.
I watched in disbelieve and then it happened.
The buildings they just keep on collapsing.
As the whole world stopped to watch,
A Great nation's hopes might be lost.
A day in time, to record in history
For united we stood, and united we fell.
A day I will never dispel,
We must fight back, we must prevail.
September eleven will always have meaning
Freedom will rule no matter who is intervening.
A day I will never forget.
