SEPTEMBER 11 2001

A beautiful clear, sunny day
People are at work or headed there
Many tourists from around the world
Are in the streets shopping, talking...
It is a lovely pleasant Autumn day.

Suddenly.....a plane roars in
Evil men take aim at the NORTH tower.
Onboard are passengers with eyes closed
Prayers on their lips
Fear clutches their hearts
DEATH COMES!

Panic in the streets
Panic in the tower
Alarms go out to ALL,
Firemen, Police, EMT's
Smoke...Fire...and terrible Screams.

Another plane races in
Headed for the SOUTH tower
Passengers hold on to each other for comfort
More prayers soar....Heavenward
DEATH COMES!

The towers are burning!!!
Emergency help.....races to save Humanity
This is their job
They give no thought
To their own lives.....Ever!!

No one can believe the scene
It is "other-worldly"
Suddenly, the SOUTH tower collapses
Terrified...the people run away
Away from the Death & Destruction
ESCAPE....Escape is their only thought.

People are now crushed beneath
Tons of steel, glass, concrete
Firetrucks, police cars, crushed
Ambulances...crushed
Gone are the brave rescuers
Gone are the people of the tower
Gone.......Gone...GONE!!!

Now in horror..the NORTH tower falls
Peoples' mind can not comprehend
This event......it is too surreal
Chaos...Death...Destruction
Everywhere.

MARCH 11 2002

It is six months...now
We are at War
For the EVIL that created this horror
Must and will.......be destroyed
The civilized world joins in the effort
Each country, in their own way.

America leads this fight
We will not rest
We will not stop
We will ensure that Freedom and Liberty
Shall never die.

MARCH 11....EVENING

People gather at "GROUND HERO"
For this now is....Hallowed Ground
Heroes are still trapped
Beneath the rubble
Firefighters are still missing
Policemen are still missing
EMT's are still missing
People in the towers
Are still.....MISSING.

Suddenly.... 2 brilliant shafts of Light
Reach skyward, streaming upwards
Up, up, up, reaching toward the Heavens
It is a somber moment
Rivers of tears....roll down the faces
Hearts remember their lost loved ones.

The lights....fill the psychic wound
Left in the sky....when the towers fell
It is.......as if Angels gather
In the "Lights of Remembrance"
Their wings spread out
In Great Love and Care
Seeking to gather up
The Pain & Anguish of ALL.

Prayers again,....drift Heavenward
UP, UP, UP
Mingled in the Lights
All prayers.... are always heard
No prayer... is Not received
We are NEVER..... alone
For GOD.....is Ever Present
Those who were Lost that fearful day
Await On the other side .....of
The "Lights of Remembrance".
