R.I.P. to the brave 343

Today is the day
that heroes gave all
today is the day
that touched both big and small
Today is the day
of a cowardly attack
today is the day
that we started fighting back
Today is the day
of evil infamy
today is the day
strangers stole a part of me
Today is the day
of a countries sadness
today is the day
of a psychos madness
Today is the day
that I saw our true heroes
Today is the day
that they ran,not away,
but toward ground zero
Today is the day
that I cried and I cried
today is the day
that our true heroes died
Today is the day
of a chickenhearted menace
today is the day
that they saw our real vengence
Today is the day
we suffered our biggest toll
today is the day
we showed our true soul
today is the day
that i'll always remember
today is the day
the 11th of September
R.I.P. to the BRAVE 343
thank you,

A wonderful tribute to the brave men and woman of the FDNY.~Ames
ReplyDeleteHave you tried sending this in to an anthology of poetry from 911? It is very moving.
ReplyDeleteI see Ames is following you. She is an incredible writer as well.
