I Remember

I was only in first grade
But I remember
I remember hiding behind the couch
While my nanny watched the news
And cried
I remember sitting in class
When the principal came in
And told us
I remember my parents
Sobbing when they heard
And I remember that my uncle
Could have been there
And in a world of ash
We walked, hand in hand
Staying strong and standing high
In a world of ash,
We remember
