Where Were You?

The morning started off like any other day, 

I was a Sophomore in High School sitting in first period

Mr. White's Biology class.

I remember it all too clearly, a few students who

worked as aids in the office went to a few classrooms

alerting the teachers to turn the televisions on.

As Mr. White turned on the television, there is was 

like a scene from an action film

a plane driving into the second tower of the World

Trade Center.

It seemed all too surreal.

"What is going on" I remember thinking.

I remember the gut wrenching sickening feeling 

when I realized the gravity of the situation.

I just witnessed the death of thousands of innocent lives.

Those images still flash through my head and it brings

back that same nauseating wave inside of me.

To know that so many people lost their lives that day,

those victims were someones Mom, Dad, Sister, Brother, Cousin, 

Daughter, Son, Friend, Husband, Aunt, Uncle...

It is so hard to believe that it has been 10 years

since that horrific day in our history.

It still seems so fresh but such a distant memory.

My heart still goes out to all those who lost a loved

one on that day, for I can't even begin to imagine

the amount of sorrow that this day brings them.

I know they too, more so than I, will never forget

Where they were the day the world stop turning.
