IN MEMORY OF OUR HEROES
To the bravest of the brave,
We pray for your loss,
For your heroic effort,
A round of applause.
They come from all over,
To aid in our plight,
At New York’s Ground Zero,
All through the night.
Who could predict,
The events of the day,
Some fled for their lives,
For the rest, we now pray.
As smoke bellowed around them,
They continued their mission,
Knowing full well,
Of the horrific condition.
With your heart filled with hope,
And a race against time,
Your trying to cope,
From this devastating crime.
The flag was still flying,
Amid all the debris,
As people stood crying,
In the land of the free.
The towers have fallen,
But United We Stand,
All through the nation,
Hand in Hand.
