The day was normal fair and blue, We went on like nothing was new We attended work and school We never knew that day would be cruel Then the blue was replaced with black We will never get that day back The sight of flames was imprinted forever in our minds, So was the mess the terrorists left behind. The streets and sky were covered in smoke Which made all of us choke Forcing back the tears that we shed Because so many people bled. Terror struck us all To watch our strongest city fall It made us humble To see our country stumble They took our husbands, wives and friends Moms and dad without amends, Leaving Children on their own To face their future all alone We will remember that faithful mourn When our Country was torn, We will fight to the death To takeback the victims stolen breath

This poem was really emotional for me to write. It is my favorite one I have written so far.
