A friend in Scotland sent THESPACEPORT.US this:

America Attacked 9 1 1

A REFLECTION

The sky so blue gave no hint that autumn morn
That an act so vile could e’er be born
It stills your heart and tears fill your eyes
For so many were ne’er able to say their good-byes

Yet with hearts so heavy and full of sorrow
Was born a vision of a new tomorrow
And although the years may have passed since then
Yet not forgotten each one of them

The seasons, they keep passing year by year
Yet ne’er a man can hide a tear
For the awful scenes our memories hold
And the gratitude for the rescuers bold

Let mankind keep the gift of freedom dearly
Foremost in mind and hearts so clearly
That those who perished died not in vain
They gave us new hope despite the pain

Let us all take much heart and be courageous
From those who cannot say it for us
Defend the principles of justice and mercy
Not shown by those who killed so freely

The sky so blue gave no hint that autumn morn
That an act so vile could e’er be born
It stills your heart and tears fill your eyes
For so many were ne’er able to say their good-byes
