As the year comes to an end
All those special moments locked within
Of days I have shared my heart with you
And even shed a tear with you
We have prayed together
Asking for answers to come quickly into view
This has been a year in our life
That was deeply devastated
With the loss of so many lives
With the loss of husbands and wives
Some of us have lost family and friends
But with the tragedy came a new end
A new unity began ~ among fellow man
When we joined worldwide to take a stand
With songs to God ~ hearts searched deep
And now our flags fly high
Though the end is not in sight
We may never really under stand
Why these events took place
We are living only by God’s grace
For only one being knows
Our fate
The Lord Almighty God

Lord,
Give us this day the want to do thy will
Give us the power to cure the world’s ill
Give us love and compassion for our fellow man
Help us Lord to do thy bidding
These things we ask in your name
amen

Cheryl and Alan

The both of you have depicted what all of us are feeling.  Year 2001 was not a very good one for many of us and for our nation.  Great writing and thank you for sharing.

Cheryl - Your words clearly define that, out of every bad thing, good things happen.

Let 2002 be the year that we resolve to focus on Love, Harmony, Fairness, Justice, Compassion, Peace, Goodwill, and Unity.

May the ripple of LOVE
become the wave of PEACE
