One Year Ago Today...........DGNR84Life

I wake up with sleep filled eyes, and slowly force myself up.
I look around my room and my eyes fall on the calendar in the corner.
It is September 11th once again.
Has it really been one whole year?
Those horrible images of those planes striking the buildings,
And innocent people dying are fresh upon my mind.
It seems like it all happened only yesterday,
The feeling of sickness in my body and the tears stinging my eyes,
As I watched in helpless horror of those terrible events.
The horrific death of that day.
Of normal, everyday people going to work to make a living.
Of those courageous fire fighters who lost their lives as they tried to save others.
Wives lost husbands, children lost their mothers, and a nation lost its innocence.
I close my eyes tightly, and say a little prayer.
For New York, for Washington, for the nation, for the world.
