The Shores of Alone

(Dedicated to the Moms who are now raising their children alone, since September 11)


After a year we still can cry
and look at death close in the eye
But time goes on, we cannot stay
locked in our shell, though come what may.

I take some strength from families
who lost their loved ones suddenly
yet still go on, with love and hope
to teach the chldren how to cope.

In pain we hold the memories
but joy as well, of what might be.
Peace is a dream that still may come
If love is where the heart grows from.

Nicely done from the shine of our moon...

Thanx Sandra...I know they would all love
to see these words, and I am sure some will.

Peace, and love.  The world cries out for them.

Thank you.

Very nicely said, Sandra. Thank you very much for sharing this thought. Peace.
