Rebirth Of A Nation


The towers have fallen
All around the world we hear voices calling

For our loved one’s lost today
We share our tears with the world as we pray

Why did this have to be?
Why did these terrorist’s take our love one’s from you and me?

Our lives forever changed, our world will never be the same
With tears streaming down our faces again we call their name

This tragedy has changed us forever
Now we must join forces to become stronger than ever

The loved one’s we lost this day was not in vain
Their lives sacrificed to bring us all together again

The time for healing is now
We must stand together somehow

A stronger nation was reborn today from this tragedy
A nation standing together for all the world to see

I'm not too sure we have "banded together" in the aftermath of the fallen towers, Paul. It seems to me we are more divided than ever and all because we have elected President Trump.

Jerry...I agree with you, but that line was intended as a rally cry for America at the time of this tragedy when I wrote the poem in 2001 I appreciate your honesty and thank you for reading...Paul
