REMEMBERING 911

REMEMBERING 911

I remember that day, a day that not just a nation but the whole world stood still,
a day in history that a cowardly attack on American soil to this day does not seem real.

I remember the tears flowing down my face that day for people that I didn't even know,
they flowed for the children who would never see their parents in their lives as they grow.

I remember a city in chaos and the police, firemen, rescue workers and citizens that arose,
I thank God each and everyday for the lives that was saved because of those heroes.

I remember a day when a city and a nation did not crumble and the people stood by each other where they belonged,
a day in history when we showed the world how brave we are and that we are the land of the free and the people who are strong.

Hello Mike...

There is so much mystery and facts about that day...

The sad truths will never ever go away as long as we live...

I still can hear people laughing as much as we want to believe that the world was crying with us...

Constantly planning for their next target...

Some knew and didn't try to stop it...

It's all part of a plan...

Once we understand that we will understand so much more...

But, will it truly make a difference? 

Great tribute! 

Thank you for sharing...

Hugs...

This is true my friend... my tears flow for the men and women who was working that day and lost their lives... For whatever reasons it had to happen it destroyed a lot of lives that day... I pray as long as I live that I never see that kind of destruction and loss of lives ever again but unfortunately that's not the world we live in and history has a way of repeating it's ugly black heart... I long for a world of peace and harmony but I know in my life time that is nothing more than a fantasy and just a pipe dream to say the least...

Thank you Sparrowsong for your comments and thoughts my friend and your kind words ;)
