Aw, kids are so cute. That is too cool, Alan. It must feel pretty awesome to have so many people get to read your poem and share it with many others. Way to go.

That's awesome Alan. You did a seriously outstanding job writing that poem and have made a great impact. It's great to see school kids reading your poem. It's great to see that your work will probably never be forgotten and I feel confident that your poem will continue to make a positive impact and touch many people.

It's best not to have videos of children on a site like this, regardless of the subject matter.

I've linked to it instead.

I would love to read the poem. Is there a place I can? Hard to understand all the children. But a huge CONGRATULATIONS!

We Shall Never Forget (9-11 Tribute)

Let the world always remember,
That fateful day in September,
And the ones who answered duty's call,
Should be remembered by us all.

Who left the comfort of their home,
To face perils as yet unknown,
An embodiment of goodness on a day,
When men's hearts had gone astray.

Sons and daughters like me and you,
Who never questioned what they had to do,
Who by example, were a source of hope,
And strength to others who could not cope.

Heroes that would not turn their back,
With determination that would not crack,
Who bound together in their ranks,
And asking not a word of thanks.

Men who bravely gave their lives,
Whose orphaned kids and widowed wives,
Can proudly look back on their dad,
Who gave this country all they had.

Actions taken without regret,
Heroisms we shall never forget,
The ones who paid the ultimate price,
Let's never forget their sacrifice.

And never forget the ones no longer here,
Who fought for the freedoms we all hold dear,
And may their memory never wane,
Lest their sacrifices be in vain.

Thank you for giving this to the world and I'm so happy it was taken up by the children and schools.

It's actually gotten pretty darn enormous, almost immediately, and way beyond just children and schools...to give you some idea, I did this post over on the blue site back in 2011, which is the first year the poem was out btw...I do realize that some of these links no longer work, but most of them do...you'll see church bulletins, police, schools...even an Air Force Base...

My 9-11 Tribute poem has been "in print" at least fourteen times in 2011...

Here's someone else reading it btw...someone told me they saw this on TV, so managed to find this ceremony out in LA County, California...if you click on the 27:00 in my comment, it will go right to where my poem starts...so you don't have to watch the whole ceremony...



Here's the newspaper article about that ceremony btw...you'll see my name mentioned in there somewhere...

Every year though there's always something really cool though it seems...I happened to think this one was really cool this year...Human Rights Org in Sacramento, California tweeted my poem to their 42k followers again this year...they did it last year as well...and note who they tagged along with me btw...
