I was in the twin towers nine days before they fell. I saw the faces and talked with the people who worked there, I was of the last few to stand at the top and feel the wind blowing through me, as if my wings were outstretched.
My father is a firefighter, he was with me in those towers only days before ordinary men like him ran up the stairwells of the collapsing buildings to save anyone they could.
9/11 is powerful to me, as i'm sure it is powerful to my father. We've not always had the best relationship, but I respect and love him with all my heart. I wrote this poem for him and recited it aloud to him and all of the firefighters that had come to his retirement ceremony, and for one of the very few times in my life I saw my father's eyes filled with tears.
This poem is very special to me, personally, but I thought that others might be able to appreciate it as well, so here it is. I hope you enjoy.

Thank you for being there love, it meant a lot to us. And thank you for the compliment :} I felt shaky when i read it, but it seemed to affect a lot of people. I recieved a lot of hand shakes and emotional compliments that evening, i think i touched many people. It was a great feeling.
wow...this is really powerful.
i wrote something back then...but...i know it wasnt very good :/ and i cant find it now anyway
you really captured the emotions...and i love how you made a line to finish the sentences while keeping to the rhyme scheme
=]
it gives the poem kind of a unique rhythm

Mmm, careful not to burn too many. If you always cover your tracks, your liable to forget places you've already been. Sometimes being able to see your mistakes is much more valuable than being able to see your successes. Don't hesitate to post something even if you feel it isn't your strongest work!
