I Remember 9/11

By I.M. Ulysses

I Remember 9/11
The pain, the tears, and the fall
How saddening the sight
Of good men and right
Who died to answer the call

I remember 9/11
The cries of the children not born
That started the day
In the wombs which they lay
Left shattered and broken and torn

I remember 9/11
The thundering fires above
How twisted the truth
Left withered and bruised
The hope that mankind could love

I remember 9/11
The raging hatred ensued
How peaceful the peace
Which could not appease
The evil of those now pursued

I remember 9/11
The thunder and torrents that fell
The bombs that were rained
To avenge those who were slain'd
By the fires of withering hell

I remember 9/11
The anger which still burns inside
For those who can't see
The price of the peace
Which they now choose to deride

I remember 9/11
The quiet and rest of the land
Where rivers of tears
Are stilled by the years
And healed by the Father’s command

I remember 9/11
The hope that this day will reveal
A better tomorrow
With bright hope, not sorrow
From wounds which time can’t conceal

I'll always remember 9/11
The pain, the tears, and the and loss
The victory is still waiting
For those now remaining
Who look to the steel girder cross

Dedicated to the heroes and victims, alive in our hearts, of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York, Pennyslvania, and Washington, D.C. USA
