| Our
hearts lie shattered in pieces Our hearts lie shattered in pieces,
tears fall from dust-covered eyes.
We all hold our loved ones closer,
as others are saying good-byes.
Hopes and prayers fill our cities,
flowers line every block.
A strong and powerful reminder,
that not one will be forgot.
For you may have brought down our buildings,
Our family and friends may be gone,
But for them we now stand stronger,
in us they will now live on.
-- Kristin L. Julian

I am the "American Eagle"
I am the "American Eagle" and
I shed a tear with you today.
My wing has been wounded,
and my flight of freedom taken away!
Give me time to repair my wing,
dry my tears and heal some more.
But make no mistake
I, the American Eagle,
will again fly high and soar!
-- Catherine A. Cameron
