Heroes
Heroes
Just ordinary people
Living ordinary lives,
Mothers ... Fathers … Children
Friends ... Husbands … Wives.
Doing what they had to do,
As they did every day.
Some set off to go to work
While others went to play.
On September the eleventh
In the year two thousand one,
They had no way of knowing
Their last day had just begun.
People from all walks of life
Came together on that day,
And what they did will oft be told
In a grateful, somber way.
In the air, and on the ground
Metamorphosis took place.
Ordinary people became Heroes,
They met hatred face to face.
Despite the terror and the grief
They would not let evil win.
They fought with all their inner strength
Against this deadly sin.
They made the greatest sacrifice
Humans can ever make.
Bravely giving up their lives
For other people’s sake.
Never will they be forgotten,
Each one paid the price,
To save us from the terrorists
They gave up their own life.
As they look down from Heaven,
Show them they did not die in vain.
Band together against all hatred,
Let Love and Peace forever reign.
In Memory of our Heroes who worked so valiantly to save lives in the air and on the ground. We will never forget you . Thank you.
