On That Day

 It was a bright and sunny day!

 And the skies of blue

were crisp and clear! 

People were going about their everyday business.

Some had appointments and deadlines to fulfill.

And some were supposed to be there but canceled

appointments and delays kept them from there.

On that day '

Suddenly, when the Twin Towers were hit

everything changed!

On that day '

People were racing for their cellphones

to connect with those, they loved.

On that day '

How can a beautiful and glorious day

feel so cold, dark, and empty!

Many people standing together in

disbelief and watching the horror unfold.

On that day '

The city was engulfed by a shock of silence

as people swiftly moved into action with great

confusion. 

Store owners trying to save the ones on the 

street!

"Come inside!" they would shout!

"Get away from the debris and dust!" They would

motion them in!

People helping people!

On that day '

Countless first responders making their way and

running towards the darkness!

On that day '

Firefighters listening to people's stories

as they cried out in terror!

People calming one another and hugging

them tightly through their trauma!

On that day '

Through all the chaos there was an eerie silence

as people gazed towards the towers.

Can anyone survive and will they be heard?

On that day '

First responders and even bystanders pulled together

and remarkably heard the cries of the people!

Hallelujah ' On that day '

The world reflected on what had taken place

and was difficult to take it all in!

Our president's position was in a stronghold and 

placed boots on enemy territory! 

 America stood tall together with her

allies taking aim!

On that day '

All those lives who were taken we hold with

high regard; 2,753 The World Trade Center, 

 184 of the Pentagon, and 40 in Pennsylvania. 

265 victims on the four planes. 

More than 400 police officers and firefighters 

lives were taken.

We Wept ' On that day '

Since that day many soldiers of brave men and women lost their lives

fighting for our freedom and protection+

John Ch:15 V13 There is no greater love than to lay down

one's life for one's friends. 

Heroes of America ' On that day '

We hold steadfast in Our God with pain in our hearts+

We as a nation look up to Our Heavenly Father in 

reaching out for his strength and endless love+

It is through prayer that sustains us and trusting

in God's Divine Love that upholds us+

United we stand in protection of our people

and our lands forever!

On that day and everyday '
