The Day the Eagle Cried

*We shall never forget, the pain we felt inside, that day in history, that the Bald Eagle cried

*The nation awoke as usual, everyone going about their chores, not knowing that terrorist would strike, on that early September morn

*America shook as our tall buildings fell. Confusion, disillusion and sadness made the earth seem like Hell

*with questions so many yet answers so few, we started asking ourselves, “What can one person do?”

*Without warning, they tried, to tear us apart. I guess they don’t know, they couldn’t take away our heart.

*They can take away our buildings, they can take away our friends, but they can’t take away the principles on which our country stands

*America only grew stronger that day, as the country held its children tight. Its true our loved ones were taken, but we won’t give up without a fight

*So wipe away your tears, but don’t forget the men and women’s lives that were so bravely spent.

*Its true, Freedom and justice were compromised that day, but here in America, they will never go away!

*So in these confusing times, when its hard to know  right from wrong, don’t give up, and always remember, to be wise forgiving and strong
