Feeling Quiet
9-11 Tribute
9-11 Tribute
The flames are out, the debris is cleared...
From that day that we all feared...
To remember those who died that day...
We showed our American pride in many ways...
We hung out the flags and made donations...
To show our pride for our nation...
American slogans written on cars...
Sympathy came from near and far...
Volunteered our time to those we'd never met...
Hoping to aid in the worry and fret...
We lit candles with neighbors and friends...
Showing our pride just wouldn't end...
Red, White, and Blue was seen everywhere...
Where have they gone, it just isn't fair...
Is it that people just no longer care...
Are they no longer saying those prayers...
Are all of the flags stuck under the bed...
Did they forget about all who are dead...
American husbands, daughters, and sons are still fighting...
So why are the candles no longer lighting...
Flags went out of stock in every store...
Now they're no longer hanging by each door...
The war is not over, they're still fighting for us...
So few show the colors, is it too much of a fuss...
So if you're one who has put your flag away...
Remember our soldiers are still fighting each day...
So take out the Red, White, and Blue and fly it high.
For the soldiers at war that still may die...
Our patriotism should have only just begun...
Do not forget who they are and what they've done...
September 11 will stay in our hearts forever,
and so should our pride...
AMERICANS RAISE THOSE FLAGS HIGH
© By Keifer J. Pesola
On Monday, September 11th, 2006, an American flag should be displayed outside every home, apartment, office, and store in the United States . Every individual should make it their duty to display an American flag on this fifth anniversary of our country's worst tragedy. We do this in honor of those who lost their lives on 9/11, their families, friends and loved ones who continue to endure the pain, and those who today are fighting at home and abroad to preserve our cherished freedoms.
In the days, weeks and months following 9/11, our country was bathed in American flags as citizens mourned the incredible losses and stood shoulder-to-shoulder against terrorism. Sadly, those flags have all but disappeared. Our patriotism pulled us through some tough times and it shouldn't take another attack to galvanize us in solidarity. Our American flag is the fabric of our country and together we can prevail over terrorism of all kinds.
