We Remember — A Poem on 9/11

We remember the blue skies and the warm temperature

We remember thinking it would be a beautiful day

We remember it all being shattered

We remember where we were when we heard and we saw

We remember those who rushed in when everyone else was running out

We remember the unspeakable toll

We remember the smoke and the ashes

We remember the fliers

We remember the photographs

We remember the bereaved loved ones

We remember the hole in our skyline that will never go away

We remember the pain of our city

We remember when everyone was a New Yorker

We remember when life started going back to normal

We remember those for whom life will never be normal again

We remember that beautiful Tuesday morning

We will never forget
