Echoes of Remembrance
In memory of that fateful day,
When tragedy struck in a devastating way,
September 11, a date etched in time,
A moment that changed the course of our prime.
Twin towers stood, proud and tall,
Symbols of hope, for one and all,
But in an instant, they came crashing down,
Leaving rubble, and a sorrowful town.
Lives lost, dreams shattered, hearts broken,
Families torn, futures unspoken,
The brave first responders, who rushed to the scene,
Risking all, to save those unseen.
The flames that engulfed, the smoke that did rise,
The ashes that fell, from the clear blue skies,
The world watched in horror, as the towers did sway,
And in their collapse, a piece of us did stray.
But even in death, there’s a story to tell,
Of courage, love, and a spirit that dwells,
In the hearts of those, who perished that day,
Their memories live on, never fade away.
May we honor them, and the sacrifices made,
May we strive for peace, and a world not afraid,
May the lessons of 9/11, forever be told,
And in our hearts, may love and hope never grow old.
