Dear Editor:
In the wake of 9/11’s anniversary, I’d like to share this poem as a tribute:
America Remembers
Through the rubbles the voices cry
Young, old…heroes one and all
Voices clamoring for a justice we simply can’t deny;
Voices of our brother and sisters today do we recall;
As night turnes into day
The City strives
To alter the disarray
But still the Big Apple remembers 911 and those who lost their lives!
America remembers the Tragedy quite clear,
September 11, two thousand one
Brings an air of sadness to our minds;
But never fear
For America can never be shaken…it will persevere and we’ll live on!
Yet we must remember one and all
The tragic quake caused by evil men
That shook the Big Apple
And took the lives of America’s children
America remembers
With a tear in her eyes and a sadness in her soul,
As the voices of her children
Clamor for justice once and for all.
