This is a poem I wrote about September 11th & Ground Zero. It is entitled "The World." Please read!!

THE WORLD
I am the world,
my burial ground is known as Ground Zero.
I watch as they piece me back together,
hands helping hands.

I am the world,
I was lost that fateful day.
God put His hands upon me,
& told me the time was near.

I am the world,
torn in two by one altering second.
Eyes watched me as I crumbled,
& all I could do was give in.

I am the world,
whom has withstood a multitude of years.
Though I have been momentarily disabled,
I will OVERCOME IT -

For I am the world,
& I am everone...

Maggie Anne Drabing
