Our Nation Faces evil
We awoke this morning to special reports.
Nationwide across the air.
Terrorist destroyed our trade centers and pentagon, spreading havoc
and despair.....
the people seen running from the disaster with fear etched on their faces.
Not really knowing where they're safe, just taking cover in different places.
Hundreds of policeman and firemen dead, along with our families,and friends.
Something must be done this time, we must put this evil to an end.
Can you imagine knowing your going to die, and that a terrorist had control?
The sadness that must've flooded their hearts, yet as American sometimes we must pay a toll.
We all know that fear has ripped through our country, mere words can not explain.
Our hearts go out to our fellow Americans, even knowing your grief and pain.
Hospitals set up in the middle of the street.Do you think the doctors had a clue?
that when they chose their career they would ever face,devastation as they now must do?
To the brave Americans on the four planes.
God be with you. Your heros in our eyes.
Even in the face of danger, you tried to warn us.
With phone calls from the sky.
All across America people scramble to the pumps, to gas up all their cars.
The news cast said people are gathering around th t.v.'s in supermarkets and bars.
The American people may fuss and fight, yet in a crisis we always stand as one.
Race is never an issue, when our country is at stake because our colors never run...
Insanity has brought us to this stage.
For its the only logical explanation.
How else can we believe someone in their right mind could cause
such utter devastation.
911 will live in our thoughts forever, for it was the day we ALL fell to our knees.
So many lives were changed or lost because of one man and his insanity.
Just remember as you kiss your family in the morning,
that across the U.S. tears are shed.
For the kiss forgotten,or the loveing voices,
that now is only an echo in your head.
Their not sur how many cassualities yet.
As our country faces the evil thats ahead.
We will hold our breath and pray for help.
As we tally how many Americans are dead.
Dear God help us and guide us,
Help us stand for what is right.
Lord help our nation face this evil.
With strength, from your beacon burning bright.
AND CHILDREN
To our dear and beloved children,
dont fret, we'll be just fine.
We'll find the answers together as one.
So please rest your weary minds...
We will stop the insanity that was forced on our nation today.
Our country will remain strong and free.
never will we sway.........
This morning our nation faced evil,
And remained proud and bold and strong.
Because standing as one we cant be beat,
Because AMERICANS know where they belong...
Written on the night of September,11
through tears and astonishment....
