15 Years

In rememberence of the 15th Anniversary of 9/11
15 years
It's been 15 years since the towers fell;
15 years since the taliban opened the gates of hell;
15 years since we witnessed the pentagon burning;
15 years since the world seemed to stop turning;
15 years since we all mourned;
15 years since a new resolve was born;
15 years since we swore we'd always remember;
15 years since that fateful 11th of September;
15 years filled with our humanity and our fears;
15 years since lady liberty wept all of our tears;
15 years of war, war, and war;
15 years but still there's more;
15 years since we promised we'd never forget;
15 years filled with sorrow, but yet...;
those 15 years have taught us something;
that life is simply loving each other while we're still living;
15 years and here we are;
15 years and my we've come far;
15 years filled with dreams of peace love and prosperity;
15 years and one thing is certain with unwavering clarity;
It's been 15 years since our collective spirit dug a little deeper;
15 years later I am reminded that "I am my brother's keeper.
