Cloudy Dust
Another day the sun came up
Off to work we go
Coffee,Tea and a smile
Whats next no one knows
People running what's going on
Don't panic or run to fast
This cloud of dust so suddenly
They heard another blast
An unpredictable attack on us
By terrorists who had a plan
Such an impact to kill Americans
A feeling unknown to man
Sitting in front of the television
watching our city die
my heart broke and I picked up the phone
and called everyone and cried
A prayer goes out to all the ones
who lost their family and friends
may god be with us all
and I hope that this terrorism ends
