Six years ago lives were changed forever,
No one knew that morning,
That they might lose a loved one.
No one knew what was going on in those men's heads,
The moment they boarded the planes.
They focused on the tasks of the day,
Arguments flared,
Over something frivalous,
Jokes were passed around,
Laughter arising.
The date wasn't thought much of,
Maybe joked about.
No one knew what the day held in store.
When things started getting serious,
Passengers pulled out their phones,
Called their loved ones one final time,
Some prayed, some screamed,
Some just talked to the person on the other line.
They knew then what would become of them.
One and then another,
Fell to the earth.
People fell,
As many watched in horror.
For those that were alive on that day,
Who are old enough to understand what happened,
It will be a day burned into our minds.
The people that died,
They'll always be remembered,
Their families not to be forgotten.

Such a well written and truthful write indeed
Yes it is a vision that we all will remember for life and God Bless those who passed and those who remain who hearts are so broken im sure for the rest of their days . For I know its a pain within us all that lies as a reminder that freedom can never be neglected ever again . I wrote a new poem on my page called How Do You Share When You Werent There Its for our boys fighting for that very freedom would you be so kind as to view it for me .I will have to give you points later for my account is down to 1 but I wont forget when I get built back up -
This was soo sad. Those people will always be remembered through history. Great poem!

The interesting thing about 9/11 is that our government probably caused the whole damn thing anyway. I mean, isn't it possible that W. wanted Bin Laden to blow up the World Trade Center in order to justify the war in Iraq? - oce

Wow, this was an intensely powerful poem!! I could actually see what was happening as I read it. Of course, that day was filled with heartfelt disaster, and reading this makes me even sadder to remember.
You worded this poem very well and filled it with great emotion.
Great Write!! -
So very sad
What have we done since that day have we turned to our friends and neibors to pray do we share our fortunes with those without or have we already forgotten why it came about . People in a country so lost and filled with hate what made those people act this way look around you how we are splitting up different religeons and gangs and such .Love is love in all languages you see so when will it stop its up to you and me
