I remember the day
The moment of madness
The chaos and corruption
As we soulfully searched
To find the truth
In the rubble of ruin
The soot and ash
The fallout of the forgotten
The missing buried alive
The images of people jumping
As flaming towers tumbled
Families and friends
Crying out for love lost
The windows to my world
Shock shaken
Cloudy
Misty
Watching the horror
Waiting impatiently
For hope to arrive
So helpless
Feelings of guilt
But thankful and blessed
As I kissed my wife
Hugged our daughter
Tales of courage
And selfless sacrifice prevailed
Rising resiliently
Out of the gray ash
This hallowed ground
Ground Zero
Somber
Sacred
Etched in hearts and minds
Forever
Never forgotten…
