United

It is amazing
How in one single moment
Our existence can shift
Peace, security, tranquility
Lost in a suffocating haze
Of smoke, ashes, and ruins
Nightmares become reality
As the haunting echoes
Of a thousand screams
And millions of tears
Ripple through our people
A wave of numbing shock
Sadness and compassion
Take a hold of our souls
Our hearts reaching blindly
Attempting to comprehend
Searching for what has been
So violently taken from us
Strong, proud and united
We collectively stand tall
Our heads held high
Even as the teardrops fall
We bond as a nation
Refusing to give up
Refusing to give in
We will pick up the pieces
We will begin to rebuild
With an unwavering faith
And love for our country
Faith in our God above
And faith in our strong spirit
Proudly, loudly exclaiming
For all the world to hear
That we are
The United States Of America
We will NOT fall
We will NOT surrender
United, we will prevail.

The way you move me
I walk with your shadow
With your silhouette
Leave the light on
It always comes
Back to you

(big hugggssssssss) God Bless You, dearest friend, and it is all because In God We Trust! (sigh) As long as the torch remains held in Lady Liberty's hand, as long as the bells continue to ring, as long we remain here: breathing, praying, and hoping, we will forever be united! (wipes tears) This is angelic writing, dearest friend, we will always remember, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Tara, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shie upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
