The Day
by Quinlan L GibsonOn September 11th of 72,
i came into this world
under red, white and blue.
On September 11th of 95,
A new celebration of life.
Yes, on my birthday, I became a wife.
of course
that ended
in divorce.
On September 11th, 2001.
Shortly after my celebration had begun..
The
World
Stopped....
I now see my day in every headline.
Being the worst tragedy of our time.
This is no lie,
and I've somehow died.
It is now the day the world cried.
