I was in school that day.
I watched it on tv

Some how I changed that day
I sat in the hard chair
My soul was there with them
I felt debree linger

Then I saw the second tower
It callapsed on top of it's self
much like the first tower before

It never tipped over

Reminded me of pearl harbor
but this wasn't a navel base

At the same time my mom
was reaching my brother
from south california
His wife assigned to
one of the missing planes

Later that day we found
My sister inlaw left
on an earlier plane

So here is my poem

Patriot Day

What is tragedy?
I ask because now I see
And question among ashes of time
What is right and what is wrong

I have seen the tears
Run down the faces of men
And wonderers scream out to the sky
Yet still together we stood

We all changed that day... even those who weren't fearing for close loved ones. Hopefully... most of us changed for the better... knowing many did not.
