Through Grandpas Eyes
Location
The day was quiet and yet so loud
As I stood in the center of a moving crowd
Writhing, squirming, a beast all its own
Yet completely surrounded I was alone
Glued to the pavemnt I started to sweat
As I stared at the wreckage I'll never forget
Once mighty and tall, now a pile of stone
Though twins in life, each died alone
I see a young mother with baby in hand
Frantically calling the name of a man
Years pass by, the baby now grown
Still the woman retires to her bedroom alone
A nation outraged, struck to the core
Praying their loved ones would walk through the door
Troops march off to battle, sins to atone
Though brave and valient still afraid and alone
Though divided on much, now united we stand
All races, religions, and geners hand in hand
Every time you stare at a flag that's been flown
Remeber no America stands alone
