Changing her world

When the planes hit the twin towers, Cora Keller was a 7-year-old home-schooled student living in Texas.

She mainly remembers her mother getting a phone call, telling her to turn on the television.

"We aren't morning TV people," Keller explained. "We were just sitting there kind of just staring at it in shock. They sent all the people at my dad's work home because it was one of the biggest buildings in [Houston]."

She said the day was a bit surreal, because she was a little to young to really know the full extent of the events.

"But I knew it was horrible," Keller continued. "I felt scared and unsure, but at the same time I think I was glad to get a day of school off, again I was young."

She also remembers everyone being very serious.

Keller said her parents did a good job answering her questions.

"When it happened my mom asked me to write a song about it," Keller said. "This is what I came up with, with just a tiny bit of revision from my mom: God Loves us, And He loves our country, He loves our whole nation, And everyone in it; As we pray God cares for us, As we mourn, He lifts us up, He comforts us in need and in sorrow, He covers us with hope for tomorrow."
