Revision:

September Heroes

Planes flew in to attack
out of cerulean skies.
A day that has been etched
in the fiber of every person
-- all nations. Leaving a hole
in the skyline and our hearts
that will endure and make us
pause every September eleventh.
We grieve with those who lost
their loved ones presence,
giving solemn silence to dear departed.
Believing in our forever heroes to fight
every attempt with body and soul
to prove that yes we may be attacked but
payback is a bitch.

Original:

September Heroes

Planes flew in for the attack
from out of cerulean skies.
A day that has been etched
in the very fiber of every person
of every nation. Leaving a hole
in the skyline and our hearts
that will endure and give us
pause every September eleventh.
We will grieve with those who lost
the presence of their loved ones,
giving a solemn silence to dear departed.
Believing in our forever heroes to fight
every attempt with body and soul
to prove that yes we may be attacked but
payback is a bitch.

This is a wonderful tribute, Steve. It just needs a little pruning back - a few suggestions ( not necessarily right for you) Take or toss!

A day that has been etched
in the [very] fiber of every person
[of every]-- all nations. Leaving a hole

every September eleventh.
We [will] grieve with those who lost

Believing in our forever heroes to fight
every attempt with body and soul
to prove that yes we may be attacked

Live one day at a time -it's simpler that way.
Laugh loud & often - it's medicinal.
Write from the heart - it's therapeutic.
Beauty comes from within - the outer is just skin!

Eira, As Always you strike out the unneeded perfectly. I guess I really need to pay more attention to rereading and rewriting before posting.
I would hazard that I got too darned tired to do either.I am bushed right now but then I didn't sleep any last night, too much junk rumbling though my head over and over, and me with no shut off valve. LOL.

Thanks, and Take care
Steve
