"September 11"

September 11 was the day

When hijackers took over four planes

When one plane flew into the North Tower

It was the beginning of the most frightening hour

Soon, another plane crashed into the other one

Smoke and ash clouded the light of the sun

Then the towers came crashing to the ground

Debris was falling all around

People were shocked and horrified

Hundreds and thousands of people died

Into the Pentagon another plane crashed

One side of it was on fire and smashed

The last plane was headed for Washington D.C.

A couple of heroes decided to fight back on Flight 93

They brought the plane down in a field in PA

They sacrificed themselves for others that day

Osama Bin Laden committed an act of war

Americans had never felt this angry before

Terrorists mistakingly thought they could bring America to her knees

They also couldn't bring down

The American flags flying in the breeze
