I’m sorry
No words can express the way I feel
The day the world stopped
Was it real?
It looked like something out of a movie
What were you doing on that day?
I was walking home from school
It seems like it was yesterday.
A little girl not even 7 years old
For many years looked up
Every time she saw a plane
And said the Twin towers
Why wasn’t it in our power?
Too many questions
Too many tears
My uncle was there that day.
He didn’t want to get in the way
He wept and helped and tidied up
The buildings that were swallowed whole
I will remember as my children do
The day the world changed and safety
Was something new.
