Remembering Generation 9/11:
“Children of the Ash and Light”
By Brad Trom Born into shadows cast before their firstbreath,They grew in the footprint of sudden loss anddeath.Children of a morning when the sky felldown,Carrying a quiet weight through every town.No memories of the sirens or the dust in theair,Only a framed portrait, a father not there,A mother’s steady voice when the story wastold,An aching gap left where a hand was meantto hold. Yet they are more than the tragedy thatmarked their start,They are voices of resilience, each a beatingheart.Woven through the fabric of a worldtransformed,Navigating the era where the modern stormwas formed.A global aftermath written in their blood andbone,Finding common strength in never standingalone.From the ashes of September came a risinglight:A generation stepping forward into the opennight.
