9/11/2001
Those martyred in the towers
eighteen years today
were sacrificed by terrorists
as message they’d convey
They hoped their act of violence
would prove their power to
dictate to our nation
and threaten me and you.
We found that they awakened us
to that which we hold dear...
our pride in facing crises
with fervor and not fear.
And every anniversary
of this so tragic day
pledge to vow we will not let
our fervor e’er decay.
