| What Does 9-11 Mean to You |  |
| Does it mean You Lost a Loved One in the Twin Towers ?
Their Duty and Honor as they carried on that day does Empower,
Us to go on with our daily lives remembering them in that Dark Hour,
The Lives that they gave, covers their souls with Beautiful Flowers.
Does it mean You Lost a Loved One in the Pentagon ?
Your loved ones were working in offices that fateful Dawn,
We cannot bring them back, but their peaceful Souls are not Alone,
Their bodies are now broken, but their Souls rise as beautiful Swans.
Does it mean You lost a Loved One on fateful, Flight 93 ?
The innocent passengers board the plane, far off places to See,
Honor and Courage of their Actions did save others, We Agree,
Your loved ones are now gone, memories bright, Their Souls now Free.
Does it mean you shed many tears over our Brave heroes of That Day ?
Our hearts were saddened and broken on that September Morning,
We were worried, scared, to see what else was coming our Way,
The tears from our hearts gray, lives changed that September Day.
Does it Mean You are Angry at the aggressors for this Attack ?
Many of our Young men and women, joined so they could Fight Back,
The anger at our aggressors is warranted, but to keep us on right Track,
This Country of ours is the Greatest in the World, we must remember That.
Does it mean Your faith in this Great Country is now Weakened ?
Your fear to some extent is warranted, but Faith you must Extend,
Our future that day was dulled, but its brilliance will Transcend,
Past losses, our hopes for the future, Our Faith in this Country Extend,
Beyond physical Destruction, our Strength we must all Comprehend.
September Eleventh, in the Year Two Thousand and One,
Has been reduced by our Media to 9-11, a term we should Shun,
Our loved ones lost that Day, Their Souls Shine Brightly in the Sun.
Our loved ones lost in the days since that fateful Day, long gone,
They now walk hand in hand in a place we hope to see Some Day.
The terrible things we Saw that day were like in Dreams Surreal.
Our Nation was Injured, but the Wounds with time will Heal,
Our great people of all Faiths, and All beliefs have survived this Ordeal.
What Does 9-11 MEAN TO ME, its is a terrible grief I suffered from Afar,
This nation is Strong, STILL a Beacon in the Darkness, a Bright Shining Star. | By Frank J. Blecha
