Let Freedom Ring!
(Sept.11th 2001)

The headlines read today,
America under attack.
Pentagon and World Trade gone,
New York covered in black.
This really did scare me,
and to the ground my heart dropped.
I've always thought of the U.S. as invincible,
and even with this, we won't be stopped.
It's times like this,
I'm thankful to be alive,
but then feel a little selfish,
because of those who did not survive.
9-11 was the day,
and that's who got the call.
Our whole nation pulls together,
we'll rise higher than we fall.
We will hold on to it together,
so many have fought to be free.
You can go on and celebrate,
but you can't take that away from me.
Many lives are lost,
but America's still strong.
You thought you could bring us down,
but you were very wrong.
For each of us are connected,
we all have heart and pride.
This is OUR country,
and forever we'll stand by her side!!

GOD BLESS AMERICA AND ALL LIVES LOST!!!
Our Colors Will Never Run!!!

This is cleverly presented, very nicely done and smacks of pride in this wonderful country. Too bad you didn't post into Reflections where it would have got more exposure. Maybe you can request it be moved - I don't know. I am very appreciative of this write. Thank you.
