Personal Reflections Of Lower Manhattan-9/11 Revisited 2010

Personal reflections of lower Manhattan -9/11 revisited 2010-

Brought me to tears of deep sorrow as I watched live coverage yesterday-then.

Watching those loved one's name being relived live on TV-

I felt the sadness as fresh as in 2001 that stirred up feeling for me.

Watching the news coverage with terrorists taking the blame-

That sullied forever the western world the Islamic religion's in shame.

To think millions of people stood one upon the WTC towers free as me-

Before 9/11/2001 ended innocent lives that never needed to be.

Seeing the innocents jumping out of burning building in death's shocking grasp-

I cried with extreme horrors standing watching all then I needed my best friend's loving clasp.

Truly a photographic memory one never will forever forget-

It doesn't matter how the days start forever nor years the sun will rise and set.

Eighteen months before I took photos of the Manhattan skyline with the Twin Towers standing-

That came out so beautiful on that clear memorable day so prominent really so commanding.

Today after nine years after 9/11 I feel still as proud-

To have had enjoyed the beautiful Twin Towers being my memory has allowed.

Even though I lost no one in the burning towers aftermath-

Being 2010- I feel still the original news as raw as it traveled on going's news covering's path.

At present seeing any photos or wall posters of the Twin Towers I get depressed and quietly cry-

As I'll forever live my country's worst attack of terrorism in my mind that will never die.
