Remembering September 11, 2001


Remembering September 11, 2001



This page is a simple tribute to the many innocent people
who lost their lives the day the world changed.
It is a remembrance of what was taken away from us
and of the many heroes that it created.





I can still remember that day very vividly, September 11, 2011. I was at home in bed;
I had surgery and was to stay in bed for a few weeks.
My phone rang at approximately 6:00 am Pacific Standard Time, it was my baby brother Michael,
and he said they are bombing New York. I said right Michael, he then said "turn the TV on"; I did
and sat for days, watching the scenes that was unfolding, not believing what I was
seeing and this was happening in America.

Terror in the Sky

The day was Tuesday
The year 2001
The date 911
Silent was the Hudson
And Lady Liberty stood tranquil in the foreground
For she did not foresee the terror in the sky
The terror that would strike her city and
Nations would pity!
As loved ones kissed each other goodbye
They had no idea of the terrible fate coming their way
And would forever alter many lives and placed them at bay!
This terror from the sky would be like no other
When other looked on they would shudder
At the force this terror from the sky would bring
Causing some nations to dance and sing
This terror from the sky would forever change the
Destiny of all our lives!
