Remembrance

Remember, remember, this unfortunate day in infamy as I reflect how I think September 11 should be represented and turned my feelings into a short poem. Enjoy!

==============================

Remember…
The once prided towers that stood tall upon us in New York…
The once buzzing state was morphed into a grey, desolate wasteland
As no one forgets where they were that day…

September 11, 2001…
A once normal day morphed infamous and marked dismally by the history books
Recorded how beauty was again struck by terrible tragedies from terror…

With the world being at half-staff like a somber flag
We don’t just remember all the tears that were shed,
Those who have fallen,
And those who made the ultimate sacrifice,
But we thank our beautiful county for everything that we have
While we stand tall in prayer as the grey is continuously repainted!

Remember…
Just because there are several days in the books where the world sheds a tear,
We need to take a moment and say thank you…
Thank you for making the ultimate sacrifice in order to pave the way for our dreams to be brought to life!

Thank you for volunteering your time to better the quality of life while expecting nothing in return!
And thank you for going out of your way to make freedom ring while it should be seen as a luxury to be more grateful for…

Freedom needs to be appreciated and not be taken for granted
Which is why instead of taking this day to only shed a tear of sadness,
We should cry tears that represent the vigor in our soldiers whose blood was shed to keep us united in light of these terrible tragedies.
Because no matter what,
We will never back down,
We will never stay down,
And we will spend this day celebrating that we’re being repainted and constantly mending our wounds instead of being something that was grey for a brief moment in time…

Remember…
This day… where evil fiends have unsuccessfully stripped us of our pride
While we continue to stand and unite higher than our fallen towers…
