Good Morning America
It's Tuesday September the eleventh
Two Thousand and One

It's a beautiful day in New York
Grab yourself a cup of coffee
And stay tuned

Good Morning America
The coffee has been brewing a long time
Surprised you didn't smell it, we are too

It has been brewing right here under our noses
We just must have been just too absorbed
In our cell phones

Driving under the influence of sleep

I guess we are not by nature, a suspicious people.  We open our doors to all people, never dreaming they have murder in their hearts. The fact that these terrorists have lived here and trained here, makes what has happened, even more bitter.

I have a funny feeling they won't be sleeping anymore.

Like Betty said, ‘we are not by nature, a suspicious people’, but now, we will be on our guard. Thanks for the wake up call.

Who would believe that Tuesday clear blue morning would bring such tragedy and sorrow…yes, its been brewing to long.  But for this to happen….it is just to much.

Too frightening altogether, that we became so complacent...may we never need another wake-up call...God have mercy and protect us all!

Thanks for your comments..I however feel that none of my words are adquate to convey the horrendous effect this has had on our globe.. yet I overwhelmed by the heroic acts and sympathy we have been shown. I am proud to be an American, and more inportant a child of God. His love never fails.

It is true...you have said it all.  It seems so tragic that terrorism was right under our noses and we didn't even realize the threat.  Excellent expression here in so few words.  I'm adding this one to the Library!!! Thanks...
