Thoughts & Prayers
Ryan Marshall
September 12, 2001
What happened that day
Still seems so unreal
By violating our freedom
We don't know how to feel
We thought we were safe
And protected from those
Who would viscously attack
With such horrific blows
Thousands were slain
>From the air to the ground
People watched in remorse
Afraid to make a sound
Terror filled our souls
Anger came soon after
An entire nation was rocked
By this dreadful disaster
They want us to go back
To our everyday affairs
Leaving the victims
With our thoughts and prayers
How can we go back?
When we're full of fear
Afraid for ourselves
And those far and near
Nothing can change
The pain they have made
We can only hope
Their evil is repaid
We've come together now
Every race, creed, and age
We all stand united
Most filled with rage
We are all Americans
Different in many ways
But unity is one thing
That can't go astray
I feel just the same
As millions of others
They've attacked our nation
Our sisters and brothers
Punishment shall go out
To those who've attacked
To those who harbor
We must make an impact
For they shall know
We are too proud
For our nation to be in hurt
Their demise has been vowed
We will never forget
Those who have died
Killed for no reason
But to destroy our pride
I pray for the families
And friends who've lost
What can't be replaced
No matter the cost
I pray for our leaders
Who have to decide
What actions to take
To revenge those who've died
I put it in God's hands
And pray, as I must
Never forgetting that
In God We Trust.
