  You're tribute to 9/11 is very heartfelt. It's a different style than I'm used to reading and you do it incredibly well. I can almost feel the pain you're describing.

  To the brave resucers that tried to find those that died and died themselves the loss was great. It was a black day that September day...no one will ever forget for we all watched it happen over and over that sad say!

  a good border to use for poems on this topic and of course many do have poems on this sad day where many died.
