One year ago, heroes emerged
Firefighters and police
Volunteers and aids
Dogs and water
Blankets and shelter
The hospital triage
The Red Cross
Those were the known heroes
All over the news
The ones who gave up
There day to help
They're the ones we sat and watched
Or heard on the radio
There are other people who didn’t make it to news
The ones who cried
The ones who worked
The ones who prayed
The ones whose hearts sank
The ones who kept going
The ones whose babies needed caring
The businessmen and bus drivers
The retailers and banks
The stores that remained opened
In case of disaster
The pilots who flew
The planes safely to the ground
The mothers who held their children so tight
The teachers who stopped to explain the news
The heart that still beats in all of us
That’s the unknown hero
The heart that still cares
We’re all heroes
The way we stand
United as one

Wow, this brings back to the forefront that terrible, terrible day. I can remember exactly where I was, and exactly how I felt.....
So much so, this poem has actually reduced me to tears.
A truly beautiful write and tribute, full of compassion, courage - and hope.......
