My country broke in tears
as those who fell were lost
as towers collapsed in dust
and anger overwhelmed.
My lasting vision is of terror
the flight that ended in the air
as souls departed this earth
gatherd up off the dirt.
My country broke in tears
as we clung to hope of those we love
and listend to the ancient wind
that hushed us all for a moments prayer.
My country broke in tears
and lifted Ole Glory above the scene
as we come together this nation of one
to show we shall never be beaten down.

Michael, I thank you for this with a smile on my lips and a prayer in my heart.

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

What more can one add??? I know these last few days have been difficult for you, but I believe you have a quote something like...

"UNITED WE STAND"

And take a "STAND" you will.

Love,
Me

It is a blessing to have wings for words and passion in pen.
