Message from the Sky

The poem is about what happened on September 11th. In the poem it describes how people are syaing their goodbyes to their loved ones. The poem made me feel very emotional. I feel bad for all the people who died that day. I remember that day very clearly. I was standing outside of my classroom at Rosa Parks. There were two boys named Jacob and Romel that were making airplane noises and crashing their hands together. My teacher was approaching us when she overheard the two kids talking about it. My teacher was struck upset. Once we all settled in out seats she lectured us on the issue. She turned on the news and made us watch it the rest of the day. Our homework assignment was to draw somthing honoring the innocent people that died that day and our troops that helped out. I dont think i’d call anyone and let them know that i was going to die because it would be too painful. But if i had to, i would just say thank you and i love you for everything youve done for me in my life! I wouldnt say goodbye because i will see them again someday.
