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