9-11-2001

a man sitting broken
a flag standing tall

a loss of family
a gain of friends

a horrific terror
a new beginning

a building falling apart
a country pulling together

a face lost in the crowd
a voice heard by millions

a building fire still smoldering
a fire within now burning

a feeling of rage
a feeling of sorrow

a wanting to help
a wanting to hurt

a fear of the future
a hope for the future

a wanting to hate everyone
a needing to be loved by all

a loss for word
a overbearing need to talk

a horrific tragedy
a life's new lesson

a time to say goodbye to old friends
a time to say hello to new ones
