They left their homes,
To go to work,
In the city,
Of New York.

Some took a bus,
Or a train,
Others boarded,
A hijacked plane.

To the World Trade Centre,
They went on their way,
The two planes took off,
It was just a normal day.

There were screams of terror on that plane,
When suddenly it started to dive,
They crashed into the World Trade Centre,
No one could survive.

We saw on T.V.
People running for their lives,
But it happened so fast,
Many of them died.

The Pentagon was next,
It went up in a ball of flame,
Now the world is shocked,
We don't know who to blame.

There is a tree in my garden,
It is the best.
When I am tired ,
I sit on it and rest.

My tree is a chestnut,
His name is Lee,
When I smile at him,
He smiles at me.

In the summer time,
His leaves are green,
And when winter comes,
There's none to be seen.
