This poem
dedicated to all
those who lost
their lives on
that
fateful
September 11,
from New York to
all areas of
devastation
brought on by
the cowards who
attacked our
freedom and
knowingly
brought such
pain to the
families of
those
innocents who
woke up that
morning and went
about their
daily life,
not knowing that
it would be
their last day
on this
earth. This
dreadful day
will live in our
hearts forever.
To those
families who
have to feel the
pain of their
loved ones
final words
that they heard,
the pain of
knowing that
their
final
goodbyes were
filled with
repeated words
of love and
resignation
for what was
about to happen.
These are the
things that
stay in my mind.
The words of the
valiant who
knew that
their fate was
written on that
beautiful
morning.
Those evil
people may have
changed the
course of many
innocent
lives but they
can never
destroy us as a
nation
of love and
devotion for
each one of
those who died
now
belong to us
and we hold them
in our hearts.
They have
become the
bright rays of
light that break
through the
clouds
each morning
and the extra
sparkle of stars
that twinkle in
the nights
and fill the sky
with their
special light.
My heart
belongs to those
on this earth
that have to
experience
the pain of
their loss. My
heart is filled
with
compassion
and love for
every human
being that has
to
deal with
this every day
of their life. I
share that pain,
I share that
suffering and I
share the words
that my heart
speaks of
each and every
day of the rest
of my life.
"Each thought
of remembrance
on this fateful
day
Will give us
the courage to
make our own way
For we are
the keepers
through life's
destiny
Of all those
who left us ~ but
live endlessly."
