9/11

Hey everyone,
I'm sure you all remember 9/11 or at least know about it. I was going to put this on here on 9/11 but I've been really busy with all my college homework. I can not believe that 9/11 happened 10 years ago!! It doesn't seem like that much time has gone by.
I wrote this I guess you could call it a poem about it. I hope you enjoy it! Also thanks to everyone who serves so that we can keep our freedom!!

9/11
By Sandy Cash

One morning her dad calls home,
something he does not usually do.
Her mom tells her to turn on the TV,
another thing that is not usual.
She goes to turn on the TV,
it turns on.....
She sees a huge building on fire.
Why it is on fire she does not know.
Until suddenly she sees a plane,
fly right into the neighboring building.

She is sucked into that world
and watches those buildings;
They are on fire
and all of a sudden they are collapsing!

Suddenly she is brought back into her world,
by her sister asking mom if daddy can fix it.
Hearing her mom crying, while telling her no.

Her world was so innocent until she saw that.
She knew there were bad people,
but they were not that bad.

The room is filled with sadness
Why someone would do that is beyond her.
She is horrified for all the people in the building,
and for their families.

She wishes there was a way to fix it all,
but she knows there isn't.
She wishes there was a super hero to help,
knowing they are only in movies and TV.

She is confused why would people do that?
Her mom tried to explain why people can hate that much,
but it makes no sense.
We never did anything to them,
so why would they do that??

Her life was so simple,
she was naive about the world.
Yet she is trying to understand what even adults do not completely understand.
