Walk Toward History Walk with me Toward history When finger’s touch Will mean so much As hearts will heal Break fast for meals To endure the storm Praying for norm Walk with me Toward history Focus on the strengths Ready to walk lengths Pitch in with sustain As level heads maintain Cling fast to your hope Share with all your cope In quiet, shed a tear But never, ever, fear Walk with me Toward history Beacon with your light Call upon His might Stand in true conviction Give without restriction One by one United Till all has been righted And we shall, en mass Deliver all with class Walk with me Toward history Solidarity shall unite By giving with great might Red, white and blue shall band As hand, by hand, by hand We shall lift our souls again Songs shall promise US a when Poets pen a future, bright Yes! solidarity shall unite As you and I, He and she Walk together Toward history (c) 9-11-2005 KRJ |

Sunshine, I am touched by your poem and am remembering the coming together of strangers, the selfless of acts, and the courage to go forth. Miscellanea |

Excellent! When we are all gone, 9/11 will settled down in the dust of history. A moment perhaps remembered, but if at all, it will be like the Library at Alexandria "Oh yeah, it burned, right?" Or, the Colossus of Rhodes, "That fell down, right?" ...but while some of us live who saw, who were there, who know it as a part of soul, it too remains a living thing. May love also reside in your soul, and bring you peace. |

Wonderful...9/11 is a part of history and some value history and the lessons learned and some do not and to many it was a very close and personal experience...James |
