Today I saw a lady cry

Today I saw a lady cry,
I saw death come from the sky,
People trapped in burning buildings,
Others fighting to get near them,
Clouds of smoke and debris,
Anguished cries of agony.

Today I saw a lady cry,
as she watched her children die,
Tears were falling down like rain,
Life will never be the same.

Today I saw a lady cry,
And yet her torch she still held high,

As I gazed upon it,
It was blinding like the sun,
For it was the torch of justice,
And justice will be done.

This I would like to dedicate to all my friends in America
My thanks to Balladeer from whose poem “The day I saw my Lady cry” I took my inspiration.

Inspiration runs deep in these pages. Thanks so much for adding yours. Justice will seek the drying of tears as our hearts will never forget.

Sunshine, Charisma and Rwood,
thank you for replying.

To everyone else in America especially those whose friends or relatives are caught up in this tragedy my thoughts and prayers are with you.
