I was there, my child When your loved one needed me In their moment of pain When their world was crashing down All around them When the panic was in their eyes Their hearts beating with fright I stood there beside them Carrying them through their anguish They were not alone on that morning Perhaps they saw me there Holding their hands in mine Maybe they didn't know I was near Feeling I had abandoned them Just when they needed my love most Fear not, while you weep I did not forget them For I held them all in my arms Those that knew Those that wouldn't know And I held them safe within my heart As I carried them Home It's been a few years since I posted; however, for a few reasons, this 9/11 holds meaning, so I decided to repost this. |

Ringo...Very well done my friend. It sure has been awhile since you posted, like a lot of us we all have slowed down...Paul I remember when I was new here and I asked someone to explain free verse to me and Serenity told you to explain it to me. LOL ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

Wow...beautifully written. I never assume to know the perspective of an author, but in reading this the words "I will never leave you nor forsake you" resound in my head. |
