many lives were lost
but none forgotten
we all remember this day
how lucky we are
to be alive
we pray for the lost souls
who knows
are there still people who dont
thank the life they were given?
i think that on 9/11
we are all forgiven
this is a day
where we can start new
be who we want to be
remember that everything we have done
makes us stronger
makes us who we are
live the life you were given
love who you are
for tonight may be
your last night on earth

Truthful words
This is a beautiful poem, with words of truth. I like how near the end you wrote "this is a day
where we can start new
be who we want to be
remember that everything we have done
makes us stronger
makes us who we are
live the life you were given
love who you are
for tonight may be
your last night on earth" This is a very important message and you really did a wonderful job on writing about such a tragic event that will live in infamy. Thanks for sharing & best of luck in my contest
