On the evening of 9-10-01 I was in my room Writing a letter to Justin Michael ![]() Crying, thinking of my own problems Not expecting the world to change overnight I stared at the TV in disbelief, and a tear in my eye Suddenly, my own problems seemed insignificant In the months since, it’s hard to think Of how the world changed back in September A building engulfed in flames and smoke And more planes were on their way Not a cloud in the sky, just like today The sky seemed so eerily calm For the next few days, without a plane in site Looking at the TV, buildings collapsed NYC’s Skyline changed completely A chunk of it is gone – While the Statue of Liberty still stands Today – 6 months later, life has changed Flags flying – Patriotism is at a peak I even hear the Bald Eagles are coming back With more sightings since that September day… ~*~ March 11, 2002 ~*~ Hey...It's me...Tamma ![]() [This message has been edited by Ses (03-11-2002 01:43 PM).] |

I may not be from NY, or have any family from there, but I deeply sympasize with all of NY. You nicely portrayed how many of us felt, our problems so insignificant to what happened. I really enjoyed your poem! ![]() ~*~Serena~*~ "I'm not afraid of anything in this world, |
