9/11

We’re still here.
Battered, bruised and grieving.
We’re still here.
Striving, fighting, defending.
We’re still here.
Less flags may flutter from car windows.
But don’t take that as a sign of weakness.
We know.
We care.
We remember.
We will never forget.
We’re still here.
In all our colors and languages,
Differences of opinions,
We’re still here.
Americans
With a heritage of freedom
To uphold.
We’re still here.
Five years later,
We’re still here.
You tore at our hearts
But you cannot destroy our spirit.
We’re still here
And we will always be
The land of the free
And the home of the brave.
