Statuesque in the harbor on a glorious day
As always arms opened to show us the way,
Symbolizing our country and everything good
Welcomes all to her city of true brotherhood.

It's too early to tell what this day will bring
her mere presence a promise that freedom will ring,
She scans her great city to see all is right
Like a hovering mother, what a beautiful sight.

Then all of a sudden from the corner of her eye
two great balls of fire explode in the sky,
Her eye's can't believe it, the impacts profound
her towering twin brothers now melt to the ground.

All alone in the harbor to witness this deed
One single tear falls for her city in need,
She regains her composure and til dawn's early light
she'll embrace her great city and burn brighter at night.

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Peaches, this is sooooooooo heartbreaking, my heart cries out to all the victims and their families on September 11th and I pray always that the wings of the dove and the eagle will always guide them with hope and faith and enfold them in wings of our love! (sad sigh) Soooooooo heartbreaking, sweet friend, God Bless You always, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Peaches, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Out of dust,
Her promise
rises like the phoenix
not shy
defiant
Hope shall not die
She stands at the front door
Ringing her bell
Crying "come and get it"
Dinners' ready!
Don't you love the smell of hot apple pie?
