A Single Tear Falls

Five years ago today, our towers hit the ground.

With millions of people all around.

Citizens lost loved ones very dear,

On September eleventh, they taught Americans to fear.

Fire-Fighters and police men left our side.

We lost more than only the ones who died.

All respect for our country was blown away,

Because some troubled person picked that certain day.

Innocent blood was spilled that very year,

And on this day I shed a single tear.

For the rest of my life one will fall,

In honor for them all.

I feel anger towards the ones with no respect

Because that could have been their family they now reject.

There was a little girl, and her name was Sarah Lee,

Her daddy was a police man who fought to set them free,

He died along the towers, that little girl was only three.

Today she's eight years old,

And this is the story that I was told.
