Patriotic American Poems

Heroes

by William A Predeau

Many days will stand out in our lives
But not all we wish to recall
like the day when terror entered
And made the towers fall

We watched as heroes entered
most never came back home
they saved many others lives
without a thought for their own

They rushed into hell's inferno
knowing full well what they'd face
and sacrificed their own lives
So others could flee that place

Those people who were lucky enough
To escape death's door that day
Should never forget the heroes that died
So they may live today

So when you say your prayers tonight
And thank God for his love and bread
Remember those heroes who rush in
Where angels feared to tread
