What are you waiting for?
Beautiful site, standing so tall.
We thought that our buildings
would never ever fall.
To our great demise,
within a twist of a tie.
They fell like dominos
in the blink of an eye.
Like the Statue of Liberty
or the Empire State.
They symbolize the freedom
that makes our country great.
Such great tragedy, with no apologies.
Thousands of lives lost,
but millions attend the eulogies.
We love our nation, some more than others.
Like we love our families,
our sisters and our brothers.
"My country 'tis of thee," never just a memory.
We will stand through this,
everyone, from sea to shining sea

Around the end of August 2006, the anniversary of nine eleven was on my mind. I grabbed paper and a pen and started jotting the sultry words of this poem down. Poetry is one of my greatest pleasures in life. It also is one of my few get-aways. My mother has always taught me to go toward what I really want in life. She's my best mentor.
This poem is copyrighted and under my name. It's in a poetry book, and I have won several rewards for this.
