WE REMEMBER
Where were you when the sky turned to ash?
Where were you when the towers crumbled?
Did you cry at the site of our nation in pain?
Did your heart break as the multitude searched for loved ones?
Were you there when so many gave their all?
Were you there to see the helmets buried in the rubble?
Did you see the American flag flying in the haze?
Were you there when the faces worn and weary sought safety?
Were you there when strangers became comrades?
Where were you when the American spirit soared?
Where were you when our nation came together in fear?
Where were you when we cried for all that we lost so dear?
Did you pray for all the souls lost at the Pentagon?
Did you feel great pride for the ones who stormed the plane?
Did you see the firemen and police run toward the danger?
Were you there to witness the rescue of so many?
Were you there to catch the images of the people in the stairwell?
Were you there to watch one person help another?
Were you there when our servicemen willingly took their post?
Were you glued to the television in hopes of seeing the good come from the bad?
Did you see the boats filled with people in the New York harbor?
Did you see the citizen’s rise up to mourn and honor the people lost?
After 9/11 did you hug your children tighter?
Did you ask God to never see another day such as this?
Were you thankful for a President so strong?
Did your sadness turn to anger at the evil cowardice of this act?
Did you remember what it is to love America?
Where were you when the sky turned to ash?
Where were you when the towers crumbled?
