The Hero

To the man

Seeing the plane crash

What went through your mind?

Your son, daughter, your aunt

Can you remember?

Or were your thoughts too fast?

To the man

Watching the Towers fall,

Who did you think about,

Your mother, wife, brother?

Or no one at all?

To the man,

Running towards the disaster

What did you hear?

Cries, sirens, fire,

Or the crumbling of plaster

To the man

Rescuing his peers

Why did you risk your life

To save others

When in your head,

You had unimaginable fear
