Each and every one of us, I believe, were affected by this horrific tragedy. It seemed so surreal as many of us felt. My husband, who's a pilot for United Airlines was flying that morning. While these harrowing events unfolded before our eyes, I lived in fear not knowing his fate.
It wasn't until I went to New York City, two months after the attacks that I could actually see, touch and grasp the reality of that fateful day. I'm eternally grateful my husband's alive. And with that being said, this is my tribute, my own personal need of wanting to convey what you're about to see- the beauty, the destruction, the heroes, and the lives we've lost.
We make all of our suns the same
Every one will suffer the fire we've made
They all explode just the same
And there's no going back on the plans we've made
Peacekeeper take your time
Wait for the dark of night
Soon all the suns will rise
Peacekeeper don't tell why
Don't be afraid to fight
Love is the sweet surprise
Only creatures who are on their way
Ever poison their own well
But we still have time to hate
And there's still something we can sell
When the night is cold and still
When you thought you'd had your fill
Take all the time you will
This is not a test, it's not a drill
Take no prisoners, only kill
You know all of our friends are gods
And they all tell us how to paint our face
But there's only one brush we need
It's the one that never leaves a trace
When the night is cold and still
When you thought you'd had your fill
This is not a test, it's not a drill
Take no prisoners, only kill
