Planning and with strategy in destruction taking a minute
The Terrorist using commercial plans
The two Former World Trade Centers that longer remain
Devastation in truth
Evidence being the proof
At least I still have my house with a roof
So many lives loss on that day
But there is much more I want to say
I went on a interview a week before 9/11 at Marsh & McLennan, Inc.
I would have worked on the 96th Floor in Former World Trade Center One
But I wasn’t the hired applicant among

Each and every given day I pray and look upon
Imagine, my name could have been added to the memorial among
My name could have been read year after as ANTHONY CHARLES BLAKE
However, I am appreciative that I yet can preserver
Life is what matters most
No I am not trying to boast
Heaven just wasn’t ready for me
The world witnessed the death of others and they could see
Once again that could have been me
I witnessed the other commercial plan strike Tower Two
It was more lives again

But deep down I must hold my head up and stick my chest out
Move forward and live now that’s what I am talking about
Can’t let Terrorist to ever make me afraid
This is not how I was created, but what inspiration Heaven made
This is a time to live
Remember, reflect and give
America has triumphed since then
Time told us to move forward and strive on but always be strong
Embrace still while others feel they don’t belong
Destruction hasn’t broken the chain
It is solid and strong and will continue to remain
Trust but be alert
Observe but always be prepared
Stay on track but only reflect
Life is about living but no gamble
9/11 instilled my courage
Fight only when the time is right
We are all New Yorkers, and our hands clasped being tight
Truly we did move on
Striving new Towers being from tomorrow with a continuous every day
What else can I say?
Weak before but strong now
Let us show the terrorist that fear is no longer within, but strength in numbers in knowing we can defeat, and can’t be beat.
