TERROR AT TRADE The faces of the innocent about to die That plane that fell from the sky People taking their last breaths, Not knowing where they will end up The crumbling walls and sinking floor Racing to get out the door The fires blazing, too hot to stand Some jumping many stories, hoping to land Leaving their families and friends Suddenly realizing this is the end. Wash away their hopes and dreams and world Through the skies their souls will soar The building crashed to the floor with no trace left behind The firefighters and others are trying their best Retrieving those whose lives were taken Keep the Home And helping all the rest Fires Burning Nothing can bring back those who we lost But soon the men behind this will pay the true cost. * * * * * Westfield resident Lauren McCrea, 15, wrote “Terror At Trade” to express some of her feelings about the terrorist attacks. The poem was submitted by her mother, Susan B. McCrea.
