DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN…
By Michael Haas

Do you remember when our lives were altered,
That bright sunny day in September?
Do you remember when the world we live in faltered,
How life in our world was dismembered?

Do you remember when planes hit the Towers?
A realization we too were vulnerable.
Do you remember when the Pentagon was deflowered?
Altering the perception of strength to rubble.

Do you remember when life in America stood still?
And a field in Pennsylvania ignited.
Do you remember when lives of 2977 became the bitter pill?
With ten-thousand more to follow unrequited.

Do you remember September 11, 2001?
I do.
