May we remember...

I remember that September 11, 2001 morning...
planes flying into buildings,
smoke billowing into the sky,
people running for their lives,
people running to save lives,
constant sirens,
unending news reports,
buildings crumbling to the ground,
shock, confusion, sadness,
praying for my country,
longing to hug my children,
silence in the sky,
a country united.

Fourteen years later...
people destroying their lives,
people screaming at each other,
people shooting each other,
shock, confusion, sadness,
hope crumbling to the ground,
longing to hug my children,
looking to the sky,
praying for my country,
may we never forget,
may we remember we are the UNITED States of America.
May God bless America.
May America bless God.<3~thl
