We remember When America Stopped.
An humble ode to Victims, those who died, and those
still bearing the pain of 9/11
Images burned into our vision
Sadness etched into our heart
Some of us turned to religion
Some didn't know where to start.
As Searing flames of hate cause pain
Eyes are unable to endure un-wept
This day with death will ere remain
From no memory shall it be swept.
These innocents, I knew them not,
Nor heros that tried, in vain to save
In something wicked they were caught;
The death of something good and brave.
Every 9/11 I close my eyes
Filled with tears. My soul does reveal
"Never forget" it sadly cries
"Never Forget" a somber peal.
Amid that ghastly stench and smoke
Waiting Heros unbidden rose
Embracing some in kindness' cloak.
Time stood still: Eternity Froze.
Heroes and victims died the same
A death warrant signed from the air
Horror Stark: No mind can sustain
Life's fabric these killers did tear.
Though time does pass; there is still pain
What "could have been", shall never be.
Numbing loss will ever remain;
Missing those we'll ne'er again see.
America stopped on that Day
Badly damaged: We shall not Quit
Heroes, victims to them we say:
We Shall Remember: Never Forget.
