I Remember

I remember I was in the computer lab

I remember the word spreading like wildfire

I remember watching the TV in the media center

I remember a surreal feeling

I remember crying

I remember a sense of panic as I thought about family back east

I remember thinking of my new infant and my own family

I remember the pain and suffering I felt for every person 

I remember the revived patriotism in our country 

I remember walking the streets of Ground Zero 40 days after

I remember feeling sick

I remember courageous people

I remember healing with the passage of time

I remember and I won't ever forget
