A late tribute to the fallen of 9/11

   Well, here I am again. Just sitting here, trying to think of something interesting to say....

   Does anybody know how to make my friends show in my right module?? I really like this template, but it took things like that out. And then I would like your avatars to show when you comment... I'll have to play around with it tomorrow. :)

   The couples retreat is **gasp** this week! Please pray for my sisters and I. Mom has never left Seth alone with us this long... I have a feeling he's not going to like it.

   I know it's a little bit late, but here is a poem about September 11th that my sister wrote last year. I really like it, and I hope you do too.

A Tribute to the Fallen of 9/11

Two towers rise high and proud,

Above the New York City crowd.

Two planes lift off to the sky,

And nearer to the city fly.

Innocent people attending their jobs

Will soon turn into frightened mobs.

 

A plane comes at the tower hard and fast

Then plows in with an awful blast.

America is wailing – mourning her dead

As another plane flies overhead.

Before another hour is past,

Many more have breathed their last.

The towers that once rose so high

And pierced the New York City sky,

Are now rubble on the ground,

Where many people can’t be found.

 

The sky is dark, thick, smoky gray,

America can never forget that day.

Many a common man was turned hero,

The moment he stopped to help at ground zero.

It’s for these people and the many who died

Every American should feel honest pride.

Instead of two towers high in the air,

There are millions of monuments, millions of prayers,

Millions of memories that can’t depart,

Raised in many American hearts.

And while to these memories Americans cling,

We’ll never stop shouting, ‘Let freedom ring!’
