Tragic Strength In darkness I sit all withered and pained wondering what went wrong My hands are all rusty, dark and stained yet, somewhere I hear a song Amazing Grace, the angels are singing gently holding my hands Tenderly touching, bells are ringing what's happened to my land? The fury of fire, the black of smoke papers from life once there I hang my head in sadness wondering why I was spared The angels in Heaven sing around me keeping guard by my side Giving strength through every hour through the rubble they will guide Each stone turned over, another life lost devastation everywhere Yet a silent force moves us on each moment saying a prayer A prayer for those who lost their lives in such a tragic event For those who've given all their effort for them the angels were sent Keeping watch through day and night helping to find the way Holding on to faith and hope for the light of a brand new day CPalmer God is our inspiration; Words of the heart can be music to our ears Cpalmer [This message has been edited by cpalmer (01-23-2002 11:07 AM).] |

C this is so very touching and the picture really adds to the poem. so so sad, I have read and written so many of these and it amazes me that as I still read they are all so so beautiful and no one ever runs out of loving words to express.. Floria |
