Alive and Well

image

They came from different backgrounds,
they came from different towns.
But they all came together when those shining towers came down.
They were people of wealth,
and people almost so poor,
that they could barely feed their families,
but they all watched their children go off to war.
They are people you see everyday, and people so often not,
but they were people, who said hello,
and no....., I haven’t forgot.
They are neighbors, families, friends, and strangers one and all,
they stood side by side, and hand in hand, and answered the urgent call.
My hat goes off to you, all who stood brave and true,
who sacrificed and lost so much, for the red, white, and blue.
These people I know, actually very well,
For they are Americans, and we are alive and well.....
