Five Years Have Passed

Five years have passed,
Don't you remember that day?
Please tell me you did not forget,
A memory that will forever last, always.

September 11th, 2001
A war began, a time ended,
Love, Hate, brought out at their best and worst.
Citizens became heroes, and help was lended.

Blood was spilled,
Dreams were dashed.
Still hope remained,
Some how as those planes crashed.

Five years have passed,
I bet the terrorists hated the message we sent.
'We Stand United!' that's what it was,
That sure must have been a disappointment!

'Ignorance is bliss' is not true,
"Couldn't the innocent be spared!"
"Why did it happen!"
These questions were asked as we sat and stared.

We wish it never happened,
I know I do.
Somehow, we will move on,
And we will make it through.

Five years have passed,
Anything can happen: big or small.
Realization has hit,
If under God united we stand;
Our nation shall never fall.
