That dreary morning
Filled with tragedy and terror
Lives were lost unexpectedly
Putting the universe in a state of uncertainty
Hearts were filled with pain
Pandemonium, just sad for all to see
Planes crashed and buildings fell
Nothing but a major catastrophe
There is a hole in the world
That no one can explain
A day that changed America
That was beyond insane
Lots of tears still appear
At the cause of the horrifying act
The memory of what took place
Is nothing but a bitter disgrace
That enigmatic dark day
Brought nothing but pure frustration
No one can clearly understand
The reason behind this dour and dreadful situation

Nothing but fresh air
It is crystal clear
Rising up through the atmosphere
When the ship sails
Over the horizon
You can see those nightly skies
As you approach your destination

Strives to be the best

It is no wonder
That her teammates follow her lead

And the next, you are weathering the storm
The unpredictability of life
May differ from the norm
Another moment you may see darkness
And the next, the sun will shine

In order to keep everything in line

Always willing to help others
Lifting spirits up a great deal
A pure inspiration to every sister and brother
Going the extra mile
And taking everything in stride
Putting her strong will to the test
Possessing a beautiful heart inside

As the waves come about
There may have to be a change in its course

Continuing to sail at sea

From dusk until dawn
And never lose its vision
