Remembering

It is time for remembering
those sacrificial lambs
who were counted expendable
by foe of Uncle Sam's.
It was a day like any other,
reporting in to work.
They thought the world was ending
or completely gone berserk.
It brought us to a stand still
on the land and in the skies.
They were winners for a moment
with exploding plane surprise.
Like an angry, wounded lion, we
are seeking their downfall,
prepared for any sacrifice,
united one and all.
It is not revenge they're seeking,
those dear ones who died that day.
They are wanting our assurance
liberty is here to stay.
For those who fight the enemy
and for the innocents who died,
we'll keep our head lights shining
to show unity and pride.
September eleven keep your car lights on,
if you're driving anywhere.
We'll show the world we're ready
to take any madman's dare.

Joyce~
This is so thoughtful~

Every day has been a 'remember' ...
and I hope we are never ready to 'forget'~
Very hard to have this sad anniversary roll around and know that most of those responsible are still drawing breath~

A very nice write, lady~

you cant ever forget something like that so we crack down on madmen and try and make sure it never happens again.

If your afraid of the dark, then why did you come?
