I remember I woke to the sound of chaos

First I thought it was another bombing inIraq

Turned off the radio and turned on the news flash

I couldn’t believe this was an attack

 

All those people caught in panic and terror

When the first tower fell, I thought was an error

Then the second deflated like a bag of air

But with the utmost despair

 

All those people running for their lives

I couldn’t believe it to see such demise

Fear and disbelief running ram pet

An un-waking hideous nightmare of time

 

The news cut in and said, the pentagon was hit

Oh my gosh I thought, could this be it

I look up to the skies as I drive to work

I hear there was another plane, it hit the earth

 

They said it was headed for theSearsTower

Oh no, that’s where my husband works

I tried to call him, and I couldn’t get through

I don’t even remember my 2 hr commute

 

I felt guilty as hell because here I sit

He could be Bin Laden’s target

When I heard they changed their rout

I rush came over me, I let it all out

 

I finally spoke to him, he was scared as a boy

The building was roped off, they let everyone out

The train station was packed, people were jumping the tracks

 

All they were doing was looking to be safe

That was all that mattered

 

Panic and hysteria filled the air

But once on the train he said it was eerie

No one said a word, only the sound of a radio

Everyone hanging on every word

 

A sign of relief as they drove further away

No one on that train will forget that day

They could have been the next to die that day

And instead they go home and feel safe again

 

I never felt so happy about a plane crashing

But my husband, my life, my everything

Was not going to die at least not that day

I thank the passengers that gave their lives that day

 

They knew they would never see their families again

They knew they were traveling a human bomb

 

I feel for the families who lost their loved ones

I cannot imagine how they felt

The parents, the wives, sons and daughters

Sisters and brothers, friends and lovers
