Brother when you weep for me Remember that it was meant to be. Lay me down and when you leave, Remember I'll be at your sleeve. In every dark and choking hall I'll be there as you slowly crawl. On every roof, in driving snow, I'll hold your coat and you will know. In cellars hot with searing heat, At windows where a gate you meet, In closets where young children hide, You know I'll be there at your side. The house from which I now respond Is overstaffed with heroes gone, men who answered one last bell, Did the job and did it well. As firemen we understand That death's a card dealt in our hand, A card we hope we never play, But one we hold there anyway. That card is something we ignore As we crawl across a weakened floor, For we know that we're the only prayer For anyone that might be there. So remember as you wipe your tears The joy I knew throughout the years As I did the job I loved to do I pray that thought will see you through.

One solemn morning our Nations lives was changed: A plane has hit one of the twin towers" Oh no let's get help", someone exclaimed! Not but eighteen minutes later YES it happened again, " Another plane has just hit the second tower, OH NO NOT AGAIN" Something is wrong, this does not make sense "two planes has hit", what a coincidence? But not a coincidence after all, only terriost's has showed there face: took innocent lives and left a mark on human American race. The USA is a Nation Undivided as one. We will not let this happen then another attack "The Pentagon" They are here, "Oh My Gosh" this is real..America at war? IM still numb I cannot feel. Then yet another attack but only this one a field, but the passengers on board :You cannot imagine how they feel.They went down not in Glory but only in Pain, No words cannot even come close can never explain. The fear they must have felt knowing "this is the end? " and the pain they had to endure to think about there family and friends. America has been bruised and beaten, but as a Nation we are Strong: we all stand together and divided we fall .Why this all happened on this day Tuesday, September 11 .Which is also 911. Lets not forget all the lives that are lost in the twin towers and pentagon: no words can even come close..I am a survivor that is what you should say AN AMERICAN and proud to this day! So as our nation comes together in pain and prayer just know that there is only one suggestion, and that GOD will be there!
