What were you doing when the world stopped turning that September day?

 

When every station on TV became focused on the Twin Towers

Two Towers that suddenly crumbled like sandcastles

 

Forcing the world into a state of confusion

Filled with an endless amount of unanswered questions

 

An incident that was caused by 19 belligerent militants

In four different planes

 

So many brave souls were called into rescue

Putting aside the fear of what could happen next

 

People were scattering like seeds in the wind

Panicking as the Towers crumbled near them

They fought to avoid the thick black smoke from the explosions

Desperately seeking a safe haven

 

Wondering when all of their questions would be answered

Still in complete shock that such a tragic act could take place

Contemplating how many of them were caught up in this disaster

Pondering if their loved ones were safe

 

Lives of many taken way too soon

A tragedy that would forever tear apart families

A day that would forever change the United States

 

Never forget 9/11
