Twenty years have passed us by
since the nine eleven terrorist attack 
The news coverage reminds us of that day
brings all those emotions back 

67 British lives were lost that day 
innocent folk just going about their business 
No one could ever imagine 
the horror the world would witness

It feels a little wrong somehow 
today brings some good news to celebrate 
On the twentieth anniversary
of such a monumental date 

Pen Farthing released fantastic news 
his staff are now safe in Pakistan
An amazing achievement 
for this determined and dedicated man 

67 Afghan lives were saved today
promised a safe place of their own
Given the chance to build a bright future 
to make our Country their new home

The worlds looks to New York once more
and again many tears were shed tonight
Thankfully, tears of joy and happiness 
scenes of celebration and delight 

Live news broadcast from this city
a triumph for Emma Raducanu
She wins the American Grand Slam
a new British champion through and through 

These events share links between
Britain, America and Afghanistan
Too much pain and suffering in the past
today, celebrate the good news if you can
