Remember September 11th
September 11th, 2001. A day that no one could ever forget. I was in second grade the day tragedy happened. Since we were so young, I can’t exactly remember what happened. I do remember,though, that they sent us home early from school that day, and no one knew why. Every kid was most likely thinking,’Yay! We get to go home early when it’s not even a holiday!’ when actually, something very horrible was happening. My whole bus was excited because the school year just started, and no one wanted to go back. As soon as I got home, I remember that my family was crowded around the T.V. I started to say something and my sister shushed me and told me to be quiet. I was very confused what was going on and no one was talking. I remember looking at the T.V and saw two really tall towers that were covered in smoke. At first, I didn’t realize that they were the Twin Towers, then someone in my family told me that two planes crashed into the Towers. At that moment I knew that this day was not going to be easily forgotten by anyone. I also remember a year after at our school, a few grades went out onto the blacktop and help up construction papers and when looked at from the sky, it looked like a flag. That was really fun to do, and was for a good reason. Never Forget The World Trade Center To let you understand easier, i wrote a poem…..~~
September 11th is a day no American will forget
We all cried with tears of regret
I was in a second grade classroom when the first plane struck
No one knew it had happened, so we were out of luck
Our heroes climbed higher and higher,
Still they kept climbing; knowing around the corner was fire.
As everyone watched the first tower go down,
There wasn’t one face that wasn’t a frown.
Everyone’s days was filled with sadness and fear,
Not knowing if their loved one would again appear.
Then down goes the second tower, just like the first
At that moment all our emotions just burst.
Now 6 years later, our country closer since the attack
We all know that the Twin towers will never come back
We need to think of all the heroes saving lives in the dark,
Think about all the love inside the strengths of our hearts
We all need to believe and be strong,
Knowing what they did here was wrong.
One thing I’m sure we all do say,
Is thank you for giving up your lives that day.
