Analysis of A Birthday sadden



As I awoke to a new day thats was filled
with such joy, In a turn of a second, it
would seem like time, would take a shocking
turn, where towers in the sky, that stood
up in the clouds, before noon's hour they
were brought to the ground, on sept 11th
i turned 44, a day that was happy, ever
turned so very sad, it was a day I watch t.v
like everyone else, it was the day they
brought the towers down.
