The following is a poem I wrote on 9/12/01 after the tragedy of 9/11/01. I felt it might be interesting to some.


GOD BLESS AMERICA

September 11th, two thousand one
Tragedy struck our nation
Three thousand people lost their lives
From the fire and devastation

Our Minds will always remember
What we were doing and, where we were
When the planes struck the towers
And sent New York in a Blur

Innocent people doing their jobs
On a average sunny day
No one could ever imagine
What terror would come their way

Fireman responded to their call
The Policemen did the same
They too, we consumed when the buildings fell
As the innocent who died on the planes

Although America suffered a blow
Her injury made her strong
Our people banded together as one
And we vowed to right, this wrong

GOD-----BLESS----AMERICA
Became the present theme
Once again "Old Glory was displayed
Everywhere it could be seen

From little cities and village towns
From sea to shining sea
America lifted her colors high
As she knelt on bended knee

Our military was called to readiness
Our finest young women and men
Leaving their homes and families
Prepared to do battle, again

As we wait and look to the future
Let our motives and actions be just
We need to remember our motto
It's in God in whom we trust

It's our prayer we seek His Guidance
Re-establish our need of Him
We'll strengthen our faith and speak with our hearts
God Bless America, again

In memory and in honor of all those who perished and, those families who were affected by this terrible tragedy. May God Bless you and comfort you now and in the future.
