Two Decades Later
by Rebecca Waddell
Two decades ago
We were under attack
The planes hit
The towers fell
Thousands of people
Didn’t live to tell
The story of how
Our whole world changed
In a few short hours
We as a country were
Shaken to our core
Shocked and afraid
Out of destruction
Out of ashy haze
Rose up the heroes who searched
For anyone they could save
Two decades have passed,
Our duty to never forget
Is more important now
Than it has ever been
