9/11 Poem

This is the first poem I am sharing on my blog. I wrote it on the one year anniversary of 9/11, and I was just a kid, so please don't judge it too harshly.

Remembering 9/11

by

Chrys Fey

© I remember from that day,

All the lives that thought it was okay.

I remember not knowing until I came home,

And all the T.V.’s, black and white,

showing the terrible fright.

I remember the Twin Towers,

That was our power,

Falling and crushing our spirits.

I remember seeing those planes,

How ugly they looked,

When they crashed into the buildings,

Bringing horror to all.

I remember the cries and faces of scared people,

Running and getting caught in debris,

A lot died while others got free.

I remember the hush and terror cast over New York,

And the entire world watching with broken hearts.

I remember and I always will,

Because no one will ever forget that day,

September Eleventh,

When we thought everything was okay.

God bless those who lost their lives,

And everyone who was left behind.
