On This Day

They reached for each other
eyes called with love
they encouraged one another
to fly into God's hands

They reached for each other
as they jumped the fire behind them
found comfort and love in their embrace
to survive the hatred surrounding them

They reached for each other
whispering words of understanding
they knew," He will catch us into eternity."

They reached for each other
There, Spirits flew that day
flew to freedom
forever their way
home of the free and the brave

God Bless America

I believe you are right, dear Ebonygirl. They reached for each other in those moments.

Your words are extremely poignant.

Love and peace.

"they knew," He will catch us into eternity."

The people jumping is what I remember the most from that event on 9/11.
This really touches the heart.
Nice write.
