September 11th: One Morning

I woke up one morning.
I must never forget
how I woke up that morning,
and what I met.

I woke up one morning,
rubbing my eyes,
sleepy in the morning;
not wanting to rise.

I woke up one morning
and then I learned;
I watched that morning
how the towers burned.

I woke up that morning
to a deadly threat.
We woke up one morning.
We must never forget.
