So Many Hours Poem by Dianna Nally

So many hours pass us by
The days seem to get longer
But because we stand together as one
Our country will grow stronger.

It won't happen over night
These things take time
Because there are so many political
mountains to climb.

We will never forget what has happened
But our pain will subside
This hasn't affected just one country
It has affected everyone worldwide.

So in order for us to heal
We have to be joined at the heart
That means all who believe in freedom
have to do their part.

The United States cannot do this alone
American's aren't all that died
We have to remember that other countries
had representatives inside


America is called the 'Freedom land'
Because we welcome others from afar
And because we are angry at their homeland
doesn't mean those who live here should be barred.


So instead of letting the negative control us
Lets make it a positive
We can't allow our hatred for those
responsible to affect the way we live.

We've been through hard times before
And we shall get through this
So say a prayer for those we lost
as they will be truly missed.


This poem was written in honor of those we lost in 9/11
