What were you expecting <br />After The 9-11 Attack? <br /> <br />A soldier, <br />A nurse, <br /> <br />A princess, <br />Batman, <br /> <br />Tigger, <br />Dracula, <br /> <br />Spiderman, <br />Mia Hamn, <br /> <br />A fireman, or <br />A policeman? <br /> <br />What a place to be. <br />Age five and under at the <br /> <br />Afternoon Halloween party <br />At the Community Center 10-27-01. <br /> <br />Then was not the time <br />To tell them. <br /> <br />They'll soon be thirteen. <br />It's time they know; <br /> <br />We are no safer now <br />Than then.<br /><br />Tom J.
