AMERICA UNDER ATTACK |
The buildings were burning - the story unfolding.
I ached for my kids that I wished I was holding.
I felt a great fear from the terror that struck there.
I was at work and was sad to be stuck there.
I wanted my kids and I wanted them then.
Had visions I never might see them again.
I know it sounds silly but I was quite scared.
The news I was hearing - I wasn't prepared.
I just about left but I felt I was needed.
Toughed out the day, my emotions depleted.
Went home to my kids and I told them I missed them.
Gave both of them hugs and warm-heartedly kissed them.
With both of the kisses I passionately planted.
I thought of my kids - how I take them for granted.
I'm doing things different, compared to my past.
I'm treating each day like it might be our last.
