It Has Been Fifteen Years (Tribute To September 11th 2001) Poem by Ronell Warren Alman

It has been fifteen years
Since that dark and gloomy day
We as a nation were attacked
Nothing but total turmoil in every way
Thousands sadly lost their lives
There were painful hearts
Some people woke up to mass confusion
Before their day was about to start
This is a moment that we will not forget
We will continue on in our lives
We cannot hide in the shadows
Just move forward towards the light
Time will continue to march on
In spite of darkness
We must lift ourselves upward
And make our own sunshine and happiness
