Through twisted metal and rubble They scoured for human life The magnitude of this tragedy Had cut their hearts like a knife Their own were amongst the dead Yet they continued with their task Where did they find their stength? So many of us would surely ask So brave and so courageous A job they had to do Such wonderful human beings Guardian angels to me and you They never gave up hope As exhaustion soon set in Those responsible for this senseless act Had committed such a mortal sin But humanity will prevail As we all join hands and pray And remember all the lives we lost On that unforgettable September day * * * * This is dedicated to all those firefighters and volunteers who worked around the clock to free those trapped beneath the rubble on a day when time stood still and we all looked on in total disbelief.Even though our countries are so far apart we still felt your pain and embraced you in your grief Suetang |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) God Bless You, sweet friend, my heart cries out to all the victims of the tragedy but they will always be true heroes to us all and I am admired by how they all continue to step forward with hope as we grieve over the losses and pray for them all! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, you are a true angel, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!   May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

A very nice tribute, Sue. And still the cleanup continues, and still we search together for a pathway out of this madness. Do you still have flowers blooming? for my mind to visit your garden? I could use a quiet fragrant meditation spot today. Maybe I can transport myself on a wave of peaceful thoughts? |
