I wrote this poem last year about September 11th. I remember watching everything unravel on television that day. It was heartbreaking! I watched a video clip showing when the first tower was hit until they both fell that someone had captured...which inspired this poem.

The Day The Towers Went Down

Where were you that September day, back in 2001
The day a plane flew into Tower One - that's where it all begun
What started out as a beautiful, sunny day, ended in tragedy
As everyone feared for their safety and worried about family

Sirens screaming in the streets, people scattered on the ground
Getting lost in the dust and ash - they hear that horrible sound
Another plane hit the second tower, everyone in complete dismay
New York would never be the same again, due to that awful day

There's papers flying in the breeze and black smoke filled the sky
People jumped out of buildings as onlookers stopped to cry
As the buildings started to collapse, you wondered how many were trapped inside
Did they get out in time, and how many of them survived

The day the towers went down will go down in history
The 11th day of September, in our hearts will always be
We'll never forget the innocent people, this world had lost that day
For every year for years to come - our respects to them, we'll pay

So as the dust did settle and fear and silence filled each state
As families sat by their phones and hoped to hear from their soul mates
Now we look back on that day while we remember with a frown
The tragedy and loved ones lost, the day the towers went down
