SABINA SAYS:
“New York”
By Laura Connick of Ireland
New York, New York you looked so grand, for all the world to grace.
But terrorists from another land, have destroyed your pretty face.
The world it stood in silence, as the news was told and read.
That hijacked planes from out of Hell.
Who they were, only time can tell.
The Twin Towers were the first to fall, brought death and destruction to one and all.
The President of America, he prayed to God for all. And he asked the Lord for mercy, and help him in his call.
The day passed and many cried. For their loved ones who have gone to a better land up yonder.
Above the rising sun.
God Bless America.
