AMERICA'S TEARS


ONE      
tear fell upon another, flooding eyes,  and falling upon common ground around the world.

NATION
S rallied around our falling tears and formed a coalition.

UNDER  
the flood of tears emerged an old foundation,

GOD,    
comforting us in our grief, drying our tears, reminding us,

WITH    
the words embedded upon our currency and our hearts, "IN GOD WE TRUST"

LIBERTY
will prevail through our tears,

AND    
our tears for the devilish acts commmitted  September 11, 2001 will be vindicated!

JUSTICE
will prevail through our tears,

FOR    
God abhors evil, and WILL bring to justice those who have inflicted our tears!

ALL    
terrorist will feel the pain of our tears imposed upon us through their hatred.


GOD    
sees our tears and weeps with us for the pain and sorrow sin inflicts upon His people,

BLESS  
ing those who through their tears trust Him, through them, to right the wrongs.

AMERICA
's tears shine bright, her flag waves high, as we restore foundations and build PEACE!

Bonnie,

Thanks for your reply to my "frog" poem.  I am looking forward to reading yours.  In response to your reply, we really don't pay that much attention to HTML here at Passions.  As I am sure you found out, posting your poem is very-very easy.  For me what is most important are your words and you have put your words together very well in your display of poetry.  I really like how you incorporated both God and country into this poem by using the words from our pledge of alliagence to our flag and our sovereign states united as America.  God bless you.  -Bob
