Sept 11th

Today I saw a lady cry,
I saw death come from the sky,
People trapped in burning buildings,
Firemen rush inside to save them,
Clouds of smoke and debris,
Anguished cries of agony.

Today I saw a lady cry,
She had to watch 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,

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

Yesterday I saw a nation cry
She heard her children say goodbye
Trapped inside a burning flame
The messages were all he same
I love you!

This is a repost from 10 years ago and an additional verse from today.

Good tribute. Great to start out with this for your first post.

I was thinking earlier, that today was a piercing reminder that an entire generation grew up in the cloud of poignant memory of insecurity and fear.

Your post inspires my firm belief that such a dubious legacy will result in a stronger union.

Welcome. Back.

Welcome back!

This is a very poignant write, as the pain is expressed through the identification with a mother's heart.

Love and peace.
