17 years ago today tragedy struck a beloved city and many beloved ones
The hate that was expressed that day forever changed history and lives
Creating a permanent imprint in the hearts of those living in America
Maybe elsewhere as well
It was unnecessary and cruel
Witnesses still live the nightmare
Television viewers forever remember where they were and what happened
Those who missed still remember hearing the news
Like watching a storms destruction with no control or no idea the outcome
Rippling effects for many years to come
More died after that day to ensure safety
Some died inside from the death of a loved one
For the ones that really feel – there is a piece of their heart that goes to the ones that died and the ones that survived this tragedy
The memorial is a beautiful dedication to this day and a sight to see
The silence and eeriness that engulfs, truly leaves you feeling differently
My words are a dedication to this day
From the bottom of my heart I wish peace to those affected and send love to the lives that were ended too shortly
Let this forever be a memory of the selfless and selfish acts
Where hate gets us when we let it consume our heart and mind
Let it remind us we were created to find peace, love, and harmony
Let us still to be thankful for the time with those we lost and those who survived
Be thankful for your life and the day your living
Maybe you weren’t born yet and just hearing about this terror
Feel from a place of love and understanding in your heart
You may not have been there and we can truly never understand the reason that it happened
But we can destroy hate and create love, always
