Your powerful patriotic poem/song is excellent in every respect: skillfully
written, vividly descriptive, sincere, and deeply moving. Things will never be quite the same as before--except for our intense love of country.

Brett,
This is a well done reminder to the terrorist that we all pull together and rebuild, no matter what damage they inflict. This was an act of war that killed to many innocent men, women, and children that maybe could have been stopped. We will all grieve the dead and the lifestyle changes it has cost us and pray for those who lost love ones. It is a day the world will never forget.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Good luck in the contest.
Joan

This verse almost shouts "patriotic pride", yet somehow manages to convey a deep sorrow too -- it's simply wonderful, IMHO, and certainly timely, no matter when it is posted -- we will Never Forget.

and the magnitude of such evil planning is beyond comprehension to think our security fell asleep those first few hours after daylight on 9-11-2001,
isn't it? .....................................

Whoa. This was an incredible response to the surreal experience that day. I saw a video this morning of the second tower being hit and I felt that nauseous jolt again. 21 years still feels like yesterday. Your poem pointed out the beauty of our nation. We can squabble amongst ourselves but we stand fast against a common enemy. Beautiful and haunting poem. Gretchen

Thank you for this well-written reminder of one of the most pain filled and powerful events in American history. Though our current status is filled with the uncertainty of change, it is required that we remember and remind each other of our common thread of red-white-blue union. GBU for re-posting these heartfelt lyrics.

This is an impressive post.

It is heartfelt, sentimental, and relevant.

The lyrics are,
emotional,
provocative,
strong,
honest,
and full of passion.
They speak of perseverance and patriotism.

I thank you for reposting this as it reminds us of that tragic day.

You are correct, we must NEVER forget.

Perfect timing, Brett. The artwork is awesome and perfect, too.
I didn't see this when first posted. Thank you for reposting. Yes,
the USA will never forget. 9-11 united us in a spirit like never
before in my opinion. Your words flow smoothly and create great
imagery. It's sad to have to write something of this nature, but
you did an awesome job expressing your thoughts and feelings
and hopes of many. Even today 21 years later, scientists are
still trying to identify victims from that horrific day.
Thank you for reminding all of us. Even with the issues of today,
we will never forget how we stood as one that days.
Thanks again, Jan
