Listening to every heart

Walk Toward History

Walk with me
Toward history
When finger’s touch
Will mean so much
As hearts will heal
Break fast for meals
To endure the storm

Praying for norm

Walk with me
Toward history

Focus on the strengths
Ready to walk lengths
Pitch in with sustain
As level heads maintain
Cling fast to your hope
Share with all your cope
In quiet, shed a tear

But never, ever, fear

Walk with me
Toward history

Beacon with your light
Call upon His might
Stand in true conviction
Give without restriction
One by one United
Till all has been righted
And we shall, en mass

Deliver all with class

Walk with me
Toward history

Solidarity shall unite
By giving with great might
Red, white and blue shall band
As hand, by hand, by hand
We shall lift our souls again
Songs shall promise US a when
Poets pen a future, bright

Yes! solidarity shall unite

As you and I,

He and she

Walk together

Toward history

I started copying lines and realized I was copying the entire poem... so I will only add my plea... let it be! *S*

Beautiful, heart-touching write!

Sunshine,

        I am touched by your poem and am remembering the coming together of strangers, the selfless of acts, and the courage to go forth.

Excellent!

When we are all gone, 9/11 will settled down in the dust of history.  A moment perhaps remembered, but if at all, it will be like the Library at Alexandria "Oh yeah, it burned, right?"  Or, the Colossus of Rhodes, "That fell down, right?"

...but while some of us live who saw, who were there, who know it as a part of soul, it too remains a living thing.

May love also reside in your soul, and bring you peace.

Wonderful...9/11 is a part of history and some value history and the lessons learned and some do not and to many it was a very close and personal experience...James
