            <text>I vividly remembered that horrible day three years ago! I was at school during that time then our teachers told us "Please Turn on your television the minute you get home" and we were like "What!", What channel this or that? So it was a bit chaos for a while. When school ended for the day, I came out of the building and went home with my friend. Finally I got home and turned on the television, I was horrified what I've seen and my eyes just was full of tears! I was just in awe the whole day and terrified! I couldn't believe this was happening to our precious country and how these people can be soo evil to hurt our nation and hearts! 

It's been three years now and still haunt for all of us this un-spirited day. We are the mighty hearts, we can and we will love for our beautiful country through every after storm! 

Lets all celebrate a moment of silence today, and say a prayer for all the dear souls that lost their lives, and their families on this day 3 years ago. "God Bless Them All." 

"We'll never forget the ones that have fallen." 

Enclosing this special prayer and message, Last year I had wrote a tribute poem for September 11, 2001 and it's called "Lifted Angels".

Lifted Angels

That day was just like other days,
People teaching, helping and smiling,
But Suddenly our world stopped revolving,
The sky turning grey, nature turning brown,
People crying on the ground,
Smoke filling the sky,
Buildings falling from high,
Fire fighters rescuing, loosing there lives,
Saying goodbye to there wives,
Chaos coming out everywhere,
Looking back with a big glare,
People dying, Children crying,
Lifted Angels flying up to heaven,
Why is this happening on nine eleven?
The day ended,
Full of tears and fears,
Lifted Angels looking down from above,
Spreading white doves a sign of love,
Lifted Angels will live in our hearts,
They will never be apart,
The day won't be a memory of a tragedy, it's a sign Peace..
Lifted Angels watch over us.
