Nine/Eleven Has it really been a year Since that terror from the skies? Are we any more secure From another mad surprise? Heroes lived and heroes died. We are grateful to them all. There are more brave folks waiting Just to hear their country's call. Have we assessed the reason Why so many cultures hate us? Instead of using terror Why can't they just debate us? Grant us succor from our pain Lord. We pray for a just peace. Be with us 'til that bright day When all wars and troubles cease. By Joyce 09/09/02 |

Dear Street Heart. Thank you so much for your kind words. Yes, I came to poetry very late in life, after I had raised my family and retired from my job. I had written greetings and jingles but wrote my first poetry after I lost my son in 1999. It was an outlet for me that has stood me in good stead. Joyce |
