I was with you in that stadion
just separated by a tv. screen
and I saw this bond of people
as we never have been seen

Joined together all religions
each of them in their own way
praying to one God they did
Yes it really happened this day

Yet one moment I felt sadness
seeing how easy this should be
that it took place after disaster
that it took this horrible tragedy

But the same time I felt happy
that this happened now and here
for it showed this united feeling
and no religion should one fear

Cause in all the different cultures
that most are good you must admit
one must not condemn all creatures
for what a few bad persons did

I don't know if they will succeed
to wipe out evil from this earth
maybe evil should be brainwashed
to the believe that lifes have worth

To the believe that different opinions
should be talked about with respect
In the name of the God one believes in
not a single life should be wrecked

I'm not sure exactly which moment you're referring to, there have been several, but I know that my reaction as I watched the Service at the National Cathedral felt very much as you described. It is terrible that it took a tradegy for a varied group of believers to get together like that...but at least they did get together. It was a powerful moment as is your poem. Thank you, Titia.

Ah Titia, you heart is as big as Texas, thank you for sending your lovely poem to me. I too watched most of the services and it touched my heart as well that all denominations are coming together as one under God for a common cause. Well done!

Thank you my dear friends, though I'm not a religious believer, I felt very connected with all the people overthere.
