September 11 Poems

September Innocence

They walk the walk of the innocent,
Gently and undisturbed.
There are many of them this fateful day,
And they fill the skies.
Some hand in hand, others alone but not perturbed.
There is no fear here, no more pain or distrust.
For they have left this behind,
Innocence has been regained and there is no trepidation.
Everyone here has knowledge,
And they smile the contented smile of knowing.
Everything they ever knew they have left behind,
But they know this is a good thing.
They can start again without the restrictions of man,
Peace, love and friendship the only common strand.
And they weep as those left far behind do, but not in sorrow,
These are tears of joy, of beauty for what they now know.
There will be no more suffering or hurt, just sublime peace,
And they gently begin to fade like wisps of smoke.
Perfect silence and love as the last couple,
Hands held with joy smile at the warmth all around them,
And disappear like a breath from an angel,
Into the still, sweet golden sky,
That welcomes the innocent this September day.

A Fireman's Duty

A Fireman's Duty,
Is to be there when some one's life is in danger.
A Fireman's Duty,
Is to go in that burning building when
no one else will.
He is to cherish and respect what he does.
He is to think before he reacts.
A Fireman's Duty,
Is to put that fire out so it doesn't
cause another family to cry.
A Fireman's Duty is to care and to
understand.
A Fireman's Duty,
Is to come home to a job well done.

I have a poem... somewhere, but I don't remember where it is... it was written on the very day of 9/11/2001 and guess what? It predicted the war in Iraq and the overthrowing of Saddam! What do you say to that?

Thank you Julep, very much. They filled me with hope and peace.

I was only in fifth grade then, but this was the first poem I wrote.

I ran to Iran,
Then to Japan,
Then I ran back again.

The sun is rising,
The monitors are supervising,
But where am I?
For I cannot fly like the birds in the sky.
I am home.
