"9-11-01"
ON TUESDAY, THE ELEVENTH, IN THE MONTH OF "SEPTEMBER",,,,,YEAR "TWO THOUSAND ONE", WE'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER.I AWOKE WITH THE SUNSHINE,"WHAT A GREAT DAY"!,
THEN TURNED ON THE NEWS, I WAS SHOCKED WITH DISMAY!
"OH MY GOD!", IS THIS HAPPENING?, AM I GOING INSANE?!
I WATCHED WHILE THE "TRADE CENTER", GOT STRUCK BY A PLANE!
STILL CATCHING MY BREATH, I MOVED TOWARDS THE "SCREEN",
AT THAT TIME ONE MORE "AIRPLANE" HAD ENTERNED THE SCHENE!!!!!!!!
"EMOTIONALLY", TORN I REACHED, I FOR THE POWER,
RIGHT AT TIME, IT STRUCK THE "NEXT TOWER"!
WHEN "ATTACKING" THE "PENAGON", I KNEW THIS WAS "WAR"!
SO, WE'LL FIGHT FOR '"OUR COUNTRY",
AS WE'VE KNOW TO BEFORE.
AT ONCE WITH "NO WARNING" "HELL" STRUCK NEW YORK CITY!
MANY "LIVES" WERE AFFECTED, MANY KILLED WITH NO PITY.
THOUSANDS HAVE SUFFERED, MANY FAMILIES "DESTROYED",
THE "BUILDINGS" ARE ASHES, WHERE THEY ONCE WERE "EMPLOYED"
HORRIBLY "TRAPPED", THERE'S "NOWHERE" TO TURN!
SOME FLED FROM WINDOWS, IN "FEAR" THEY WOULD BURN.
IMAGINE THE FEAR, AND "PAIN", THEY WENT THROUGH?
TO LIVE SUCH A "NIGHTMARE", THIS COULD'NT BE TRUE!!
VOLUNTEERS, TREMENDOUSLY, DOING THEIR "PART"
WITH THE "HOPE" THEY'LL MAKE CONTACT WITH "ONE BEATING HEART"!
THERE'S THOUSANDS STILL "MISSING", FROM THIS "BRUTAL ATTACK",
SOME HAVE BEEN "RESCUED",,,,SOME "WONT BE BACK".
"DONATIONS",TO "BLOOD DRIVES", THEY BEG US TO GIVE,
TO SAVE SOMEONE'S "LIFE",
HELP "SURVIVORS", TO LIVE.
THERE ARE FAMILIES THAT NEED US, LET'S "SHARE" IN THEIR "LOSS"
AS WE ALL SHARE THE SAME MAN WHOM WAS NAILED TO THE CROSS!
WOULD I BE A BIT SELFISH, TO ASK YU TO SPARE?
A "MOMENT" FOR "BONDING", TO JOIN ME IN "PRAYER"?,,,,,,,
"OH HEAVENLY FATHER", AS YOUR CHILDREN WE PRAY, "OUR HEARTS", FILLED WITH GRIEF, FOR THOSE TAKEN AWAY,
"OH LORD" WE'RE SO TIRED OF SHEDDING THESE "TEARS",
IT'S SO HARD TO LET GO AFTER SO MANY YEARS!
WE KNOW IN OUR "HEARTS" THEY'RE AT "PEACE" AND "CONTENT"
LEAD THROUGH GATES OF YOUR "HEAVEN,
BY THE "ANGELS" YOU SENT.
"LORD" PLEASE LAY YOUR HAND, ON THOSE WHO WERE SPARED,
THROUGH THE "STRENGHTH" OF YOUR POWER,THEY'LL NOT BE SO SCARED.
"OUR COUNTRY'S BEEN "TERRORIZED"!
"OUR WORLD'S COME APART!
IT SADDENS ME "LORD", IT'S BREAKING MY HEART!
"OH FATHER", I BEG YOU, AND SPEAK FOR US ALL,,,
TO GUIDE, AND PROTECT US, IF "EVIL"
SHOULD "FALL".
"OUR FAITH" IS OUR "WEAPON", YOUR "POWER'S" OUR "SHIELD",
WE'LL COMBINE THEM WITH "PRAYER",
FOR "THOSE" WHO'D BEEN "KILLED"
"LORD" GUIDE "THOSE" IN TRAINING, IN "ATTEMPTING THEIR "ROLES",
FOR "THOSE" WE HAVE :LOST",,,,,,PLEASE "GOD BLESS THEIR SOULS"
"IN JESUS NAME WE PRAY" AMEN
