Recalling 9-11

I can’t forget the day and hour when the first plane hit the tower
Then we learned the dreadful horror of the crashes
Pennsylvania, the Pentagon, the first and second tower gone
And we watched them disappear in the dust and ashes
To some it’s just history, others somewhat a mystery
As memories are now becoming dim with time
But I recall those silent skies and the heroes in disguise
Those images forever etched into my mind
Along with December 7th now so will September 11th,
Forever will live as a day in infamy
So we must repeat the story, as we proudly salute Old Glory
And thank God for this Land of Liberty
