Thoughtless, souless evil
Has been visited upon us
Each grieves in their own way
Stilling the anguish within
Each unites in defiance

Cutting thru the sorrow
Of this tradgedy is a
Light of oneness
Overshadowed by nothing
Remembered throughout history
Standing tall, proud and strong

Determined Defiance
Overpowering fear
Now the fear they sought
To use against us

Rouses us to unite
United we stand
Now and forever!

My Friend~
Thank you for sharing your thoughts acrostically~
It's hard enough to think of the awful events of this past week ...
much less find words to display our respect for those who had their lives taken so violently.
God bless America ... and thank you, Sharon~
It's good to see you, my friend~

Marge....My husband and I moved to Oregon from New York.....he has been a volunteer firefighter for some years and now he is chief of our local dept....if we were back home he would have been out there and could very well have been one of those missing.  

We are very blessed to live in the USA!
God Bless America!
Always
