NMAH Story: Story

The joy of life was drawing near
I felt you in my body
You kept me up all night
I was awoken by the fear

Of a woman's voice
Yelling, sobbing
I know this can't be true
A tear ran down her cheek
Her heart must have been throbbing

I waddled down the hall
To see about the commotion
My love looked pale
As he turned on the television
And we saw the tower fall

This can't be true, I echoed
I cried, I yelled
My children, they came running
How do you tell your two and five year old
Our world had just crumbled?

I held on tight to my tummy
I don't want you to see
This hateful place I call home
Filled with pure insanity

Then guilt hung on my heart
As I watched the rest unfold
Thousands of people dead
Families torn apart

I must be thankful to my God
That so many lives were spared
And NEVER FORGET the ones who were slaughtered
Or the experiences that were shared

Ever day got worse
And time drew near for you
Maybe you will bring joy
To those who are left here
With a hears

I was awoken by the pain
Yelling, sobbing
I know that this is true
A tear rolled down my cheek
As my heart was deeply throbbing

Her name is Carah
Which means joy
I pray that she will be
To those who lost their families
That day of infamy.

NMAH Story: Life Changed

I have always LOVE the freedoms this country afords me. I always will. Due to September 11th I am more passionate and more vocal about my country. I have no problems now taking up arms if I had to, to fight for my country, to keep it a free nation, as stated inthe Constitution. I will NEVER give in to the plots of those in this country who are trying to take that which so many have died for, in the beginning and now, FREEDOM!

NMAH Story: Remembered

NEVER FORGET!!!
The planes crashing
The fire blazing
The black smoke billowing
The people fleeing
The couples jumping
The children crying
The buildings falling
The help given
The people dying
NEVER FORGET their lives were sacrificed because we are hated for what this country stands on!!! TRUTH!!

NMAH Story: Flag

YES!!
On my house
On my cars
On my clothing
On my jewlery

I have more reverence for our flag and the heritage it has as this nation was built.
