A day like any other
One that no one thought would be out of the ordinary
Another day of school, the beginning of a workweek
Little did we know that millions of strangers
Would become one voice in a matter of hours.
Shock and disbelief would register on the faces of all
For many, so would the agony of loss
We watched as millions perished
We heard as strangers became one
We saluted those who risked their lives to save others.
We thought we would never see or hear the end
We were right. . .
Six years later, much has changed
Arriving three hours early for your flights
And another three packing and re-packing your bags
Six years ago, we lost brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, children
Six years later, we continuew to lose family and friends
Six years ago, we were told we would not falter
Six years later, we stand strong
Six years ago, we writhered in pain and disbelief
Six years later, We still stand strong.
