In Tribute

[anjala]

I wrote this last night in class.

Two years ago today
I was counting airplanes in the sky
Two years ago tomorrow
We saw thousands of people die
Two years ago today
I thought we were safe
Two years ago tomorrow
My homes and dreams were dashed from space
I still replay that day
Over in My Mind
And when I think of it
I want to cry
So many were lost
And so many fought back
Now in my thoughts
I still don't completely understand why we were attacked
Two years ago our country rallied
We were standing side by side
Two years later
The attacked barely cross our minds
Have we forgotten so easily
Now in this computer age
What happened to our passions
What happened to our rage
Are we going to let
Their memories die in vain
Or, can we live for them
Can they, through us, live again
I will always remember
Everything that happened that September Day
I will not let their courage
Fall by the way
So, Tomorrow, I will remember them
Those who dies and gave
I will live tomorrow for them
And from now on, Everyday
My hope for you
My family, my friends
Let us live our lives everyday
As if today could be our end
This isn't meant to be morbid
I don't want to think on death
I want to live my life to the fullest for them
Until my last breath
So my challenge to you today
Is to honor our dead
And to live our lives to the fullest
To our very
Last Breath
