| BLACK TUESDAY |
| Copyright �September 2001 Kenna Marie Clayton |
| As the sun arose on Tuesday morn� Life was good, our spirits high. By sunset our nation mourned And the world cried. We stared in disbelief While barbaric terrorist attacked our towers Our disbelief turned to grief Still another attack hit at our country�s power A fourth attack was foiled by our fallen heroes Thousands of our innocent and loved died USA, the sleeping giant, arose Our resolve was borne as our nation cried Firemen and police our unselfish and brave Thought not of themselves but of others In their hour of valor the fallen towers became their graves Our hearts bled while our children clung to their mothers Yesterday we were divided Like siblings we squabbled Today our nation stands united Cowardly monsters plotted their schemes Believing they could tear our nation apart Wrong! Though they may rob us of our dreams They�ve only strengthened our spirit making us one at heart Families of the fallen cling to hope Americans give blood and pour out charity Our citizens struggle to cope Our President unleashes our law enforcement and military Time has come for our nation to fight We declare war on terrorism We ask the world to in our cause unite While we stand proud and show our nationalism September 11, 2001, a day of infamy, was a very black Tuesday Sorrow, grief, terror and anger we do feel Justice we demand, confident we�ll see our Victory Day We are all in God�s hands and will one day heal |
