Do you remember where you were today,
All those years ago.
When the world changed forever,
Little did we know.
We woke up and started our days,
Soon to see a change of flow.
As planes crashed all around us,
Giving New York an eerie glow.
People screamed and ran about,
Not sure of where to go.
Fireman, policeman everyone,
But rescue was too slow.
So many died that fateful day.
The world engulfed in sorrow.
But the culprits didn't get their wish,
And make us all afraid and full of woe.
Instead the US rallied and waved the flag so proud,
Supported those that lost and our pride will only grow.
-------
Let's all say a prayer for those in America and over seas fighting for our continued freedom..

I remember it so clearly...
I was picking my kids up from school (it was early afternoon in the UK) They remember too.
This is a great poem! Thank you so much for following my blog. :)
I was on the ninth hole, playing one of my best rounds of golf ever when I heard the news. We went into the club house and sat for hours watching the coverage.
Lets not forget to pray for the ones who lost there loved ones, this must be a horrific day for them.

I remember just sitting for hours/days watching it all unfold on the telly...I was gobsmacked and speechless as most of us where the world over.....still find it incomprehensible what happened that day...my prayers are with all those who lost their lives and those left behind.... also the very brave people who risked their lives to save others

I was trading on the floor of the exchange. I still can't put into words that day.
We are neighbors! I live in Worcester Co. too!
I can't believe it was 8 years ago. It seems like yesterday. Will never forget.
The day that permanently changed all of our lives.
I drink to forget.
I found you by way of Housewife Savant's blog, because I love the blog title. Nice poem you've got up today. Also, I see you're looking for world domination. Got any followers from hokey-doke Wisconsin? Now you do!
I was in eighth grade and we were making roller coasters on the computer. They wheeled the TV in and we watched it for the rest of the afternoon. So sad.
Beautifully said! It gave me chills.
This will always be a very sad day. i was going to do something about it on my blog, I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
That's beautiful and I think there are many of us uniting in prayer today. :)
So beautifully written.
Amen.

Touching, poignant and just the right touch. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I was pretty melancholy all day yesterday, and that feeling carried over into today. I will never forget...
