Somewhere... out there...

~One Voice~

I've tried to find the words today
to tell what's in my heart
a way to vent...a way to share
but how is one to start

How do we write the horror
of the thousands who were lost
How do we pen the terror felt
as lives became the cost

How do we say "good will prevail-
we shall not be defeated"
How do we shout with confidence
"such acts won't be repeated"

How do we quill the anger
reaching far beyond the brink
How do we spill the endless tears
that flow in crimson ink

How do we rise up full of pride
in silent rage no longer
Together, my friends...we must be heard
one voice...united...stronger!

~vlraynes



"...until you have read the verse on his heart,
you have not truly met the poet.

We start out slowly, one hand holding another, reminding all...that we are here for a reason, and we hear, With a Reason...

Well done Vicky!  Thank you!

Dear friend,
  I feel as you do, Perplexed but not defeated. These savages have under-estimated
the resilient spirit of this Nation. We will not be divided by these hearless acts, but rather the opposite, we will be a stronger, more unified nation. God Bless America.
Thanks for your thoughtful poem. Dennis

The anger and the madness
Has created such a sadness
I only know one thing to say
We must get on our knees and pray
United in our country land
Not just one religion at hand
One voice is right my dear friend
The message is clear that we must send
Showing all the world around
America's strength we are bound

Just pray
Cindi

God is our inspiration; Words of the heart can be music to our ears

Well I looked to the sky for my anthem
The words and the music came through
But words and music can never touch
The beauty that I've seen in you
