~* Hear My Plea *~

Sweet Mother spirit of this earth,
Hear my plea, I beg of you.
You’re the only one that I can ask,
To get this message through.

Ask the spirit of the whistling wind,
To gently blow through my hair,
Take a hint of my jasmine scent,
And blow it with love, to him there.

Will you ask the spirit of the rain,
Mingling with my tears
To hold my heart and wash it clean,
Of all the pain and fears?

Ask the sun spirit where our love began,
On your beach where we made love,
To shine on his young, beautiful face
Wherever he is in your heaven above.

Beg of the moon, with love in your eyes,
As I lay so restless in my lonely bed,
To caress his cheek with the kisses I send
So he’ll see images of my love in his head.

Light up the sky with thunder and lightening
So bright it will let him see,
The fire of love branded in my heart,
Treasuring the time of him and me.

Tiara of stars in the ebony night,
Dance on the clouds above,
When he looks at you, embrace him for me,
And whisper to him of my love.

Oh spirit mother earth, we’re so far apart,
But I know our hearts beat as one,
Can you hold him in your gentle arms,
Keep him safe, until it’s my turn to come?

Father in Heaven, ruler of all things
I’m on my knees to pray for my hero.
Keep my husband in your loving care
Bless his brothers working ground zero.

My life will go on, but sadly alone
Where once I was a firefighter’s wife,
Never did I think, kissing him goodbye,
Would be for the rest of his life.


~*~ With Love For Nancy ~*~

From The North Shore News, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on September 14, 2001

"Two guys went down into the fire, and four guys went in to find them. And that's what brought me here," a firefighter said. I'm a Canadian. They're not. It doesn't matter. It's a brotherhood. A fire department is a family. We look out for each other.  Four went in and only three came out!  God Bless his heroic efforts."

God Bless all the firefighters that are working around the clock
for the benefit of the people of New York and humanity.
