I know everyone has written a dedication to yesterday's events, but I was compelled to write one after  I had read some of yours. So here is mine.

September 11, 2001
The date was appropriate, 911
Buildings burning
Stomachs turning
People learning
What this world has come to
I can’t believe it’s true
Has the world gone insane
Obituaries read “death by airplane”
City in ruins and thousands slain
I can’t imagine what the families are feeling
It’s still too early, can’t even begin healing
Families are torn apart
Painful prayers in a somber heart
Brothers are dead and sisters were killed
A nation in mourning from the blood that spilled
Don’t know where to begin when we try to rebuild
As we come together, we know we tried our best
Care and pray and hope for all that will be laid to rest
My heart will hold a place
For every name and face
And now you’ll lead a better life
Living in God’s grace

Dedicated to all those who were robbed of life in the terrorist attacks yesterday

Keep strong and keep writing.

The best I've read concerning the tragedy. Your words were perfect, it felt as though you'd given it thought and put down each word with care and emotion. The title was also the best. How could our hearts not hold a place.  It's words like those you've written that help us who can't find our own. Thank you not just for the beautiful poem but for the strength the resonates in my heart long after my eyes have left the words. And for the record, your more then "decent" at this.

This is so very sad.   It's terrible what has happened!   Like Acire said; stay strong.
