It Changed That Day

Tweet

I wrote this one a year ago today and in the year since have gotten a lot of positive feedback but at times negative as well! It Changed That Day C.C.O image From Pixabay It didn’t take much For the unbendable To bend and break’ Just a dose of hate And in an instant Our nation changed But not only our nation The world. Those planes forever Etched in our mind Images frozen in time As we close our eyes And see innocent lives Jumping to their deaths The fury of the fire Just to much to bare. Heroes were born that Day And far to many died It was a lesson in hate And love At the same time And those images Forever Etched in our mind. First responders Risking their lives But not only that Strangers Digging under The rubble After those towers Came down Like a house of Cards Only slightly jarred Thousands of lives Died under the rubble The weight of the world Was on their shoulders. It was a lesson in hate As we saw lives destroyed And a lesson in love As a nation became united Once again Even if only for a time But everything changed that Day The innocent image Of America destroyed. In the time it took For a plane to crash into those Buildings. © Michelle R Kidwell 8/01/2018
