Not so long ago
Was born a new Patriots Day
As we all grieved together
The whole world changed that day
Now it’s been twenty years
And still, we mourn their loss
Gone is Osama Bin Laden
And still, we weigh the cost
Since man has walked this Earth
Tribes of men have waged senseless wars
Infected with greed and revenge
It’s the love of God we must restore
Heroes on the ground
And heroes in the air
In spite of all the danger
To save lives you dared
And it doesn’t get any easier
As the years go by
The evidence is clearly
There in our eyes
And so, in honor of their memory
We declare this day for them
A nation stands proud
A world of grieving friends
They’ll not be forgotten
The stars and stripes still wave
Their legacy survives
The proud, the strong, the brave
On this day for them
Standing tall, we’ve found our way
For all they gave us
On this new Patriots Day

A fine write AP.
Thanks Orchi.
The world never the same since the day.
No, but hopefully something positive will come out of such devastation. Thanks m&m.
