A young girl’s tribute to the twin towers

My daughter came off the school bus yesterday (Sept. 11) crying. She was afraid for our family’s safety. She was upset that her dad was stuck in Florida and wouldn’t be home for her birthday and that something so terrible could happen so close to where we live.

I tried to comfort her as much as I could. She went up to her room and came down with this poem. When I read it, I began to cry. I wanted to share it.

Twin Towers, you have been hurt.

Although you were to fall, you always stood up tall.

You are a memory to us, and there is no fuss.

You smile at the good, and frown at the bad, cheer them up when they are sad.

So may you say, have justice for all.
