OUR COUNTRY
in memory
9/11/01


September 11,2001 was that fateful day
As clouds turned blackish gray that day
Our country was stunned in disbelief
Cries of pain and unbelievable grief

It all began just one short year ago
We were told to pray and to grow
To pick up the pieces and go ahead
God will be with us always, it is said

Because we know that God does care
Our burdens will be lighter to bear
God gives us a way to heal and to cope
God is our Savior and our hope

Take this memory proceed with life
Remember in times of grief and strife
That our strong faith will take a stand
With one set of footprints in the sand

This is lovely Brenda and I know God must be saturated with the prayers we have been sending Him, since that fateful day.  Love, Joyce
