My thoughts after hearing the song –
“Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning”
9.11
Where I Was (When the World Stopped Turning)
That September Day

That Tuesday morning my girls rushed to school
With a wave as they ran out the door
I turned on the TV to Good Morning America
Didn’t notice as my coffee hit the floor

As I stood there in shock thinking this can't be real
The screams and the flames how they grew
And then through the smoke a camera focused in
As a plane hit Tower #2

All my worst fears were filling the screen
I didn’t know what I should do first
