On January 27, 2001 an Oklahoma State plane crashed in Colorado after a game. I'm not really a fan of OSU but I still felt saddened by this and I felt inspired!


It was such a pretty night
Freashly fallen snow so bright
Why did it have to turn
into an ugly, horrible sight?
As the plane crashed down
the flames lit up
lighting up the snowy field
No one would know
that there was something wrong
until it was too late

Back in OKC two planes landed
But where was the third?
People waited for hours on end
But ten people never returned
Word was sent that a plane went down
not far from an Colorado airport
A shock went through the state
No,that can't be the third
But everyone knew the truth
Ten people were forever lost

But who were those people
Oklahoma wanted to know
Who were the people
who spent their life
trying to make Oklahoma great?
Hours went by with no word
But finally we were reached
They were people that we loved
and people that died too soon
These people will be forever loved
and shall never be forgotten
We all know you will
find a place in Heaven
and watch over us

Umm...I know the ending wasn't very good but I couldn't think of anything better but this poem truly comes from the heart!

How tragic... we don't recieve much American news up here, and even if we did I don't get out enough to know about it.
You captured your emotions well, and created an excellent tribute.  Couldn't have done it better myself.

Would you really want everything that you thrive for, if you could never appreciate it?

How come it is so easy for a person to say "I hate you," but it is so difficult for someone to say "I love you" and really mean it????

This is such a sad poem. In the 70's, the airplane holding the Marshall University football team and many prominant members of the community crashed outside of Huntington WV. This reminds me of that crash. This is a beautiful tribute. Thanks for sharing.

It is nice to know that there are people out there that open their hearts and care for other people's tragedy.  You've shown that you do have a most beautiful and caring heart.
