Remember the Fallen 9-11

by Chelsey   Sep 11, 2006


I still can’t help but cry
When I see them replay it on the news
3,000 lives lost, buildings destroyed
A call for over 100 fire crews

I still can’t help but cry
When we have a moment of silence for the dead
I can hear the BOOM and the screams
I remember how they all bled

I pray tonight on my knees
“Oh God please help my nation heal
I know its 5 years later now
But every year it remains so real”

“Please God help those families of the lost
Give them the strength to try and move on
Help them soar on wings like Eagles
Renew their faith, make them strong”

“Lord I pray for those whose birthdays are today
Instead of getting a birthday balloon or snack
People could care less they were born today
They just can’t their mind off that evil attack”

“Lord I pray for those who blamed you
Please help them to realize
It was not at all our fathers fault
Perhaps this happened to open the worlds eyes”

“Lord forgive me for my next few words
Its not to Christian if you can’t already tell
But for those bastards who terrorized this nation
May they forever rot in hell!”

I was only ten years old when it happened
I’m 15 now and doing ok
But I weep and frown on 9-11
It’s one of my lowest days

Please God help the people to:

Dislike the greedy
Appreciate the giving
Remember the fallen
And pray for the living
