We will not forget
 |
Like people all over the world, I sat, horrified, watching the television one year ago today, at the cowardly and sensless acts of terrorism on my country.
In stunned disbelief, I watched as CNN showed the second plane crash into the World Trade Center.
Forgive me if this personal entry upsets you, but I need to get it out myself.
Not being able to help in any other way on that day, I kept the television tuned to CNN and set about creating a tribute website. I was like thousands of others who could only sit |
watch from home or work, not there at ground zero to help. Then the next day, when the call went out for people to give blood at local blood banks, I went. I could, at least, help in that way.
Today, one year later, I'm still horrified at the senslessness of it all. I have updated my tribute site with a poem in honor of all that was lost on that day and since then. If you would like to visit the site, you can find it at http://www.stormys-solutions.com/rememberance , but I want to share the poem here as well:
One Year Ago Today
By: Stormy Stevens
© 9/11/02
It's been one year today
that lives were stolen away
by acts of cowardice.
We mourn for those who are gone
their lives ended so wrong
and pray for those left behind.
The terror is not forgotten
the target is still Bin Lauden
he will pay for his sins.
But we focus on our own
and on all of those now known
for what they faced that day.
My tears fall for them all
the pain still fresh and raw
for what was lost one year ago today.
September 11, 2001 and all that
was lost will not be forgotten.
