 echoes of grief and tears of mourning tragic disaster; lives ripped apart echoes of sirens grim shrill warning spirits live on, as we remember in heart echoes void of loved ones laughter echoes of American tears of grief for our memories linger, as we long after the heroes we miss; encounter life too brief. glisten pool of teardrops shimmer echoing long after concrete rain no sunbeams now, that lightly glimmer to cast reflection on the echoing pain echo all Americans; united, one voice Nat’l anthem sung lamenting refrains now forced to fight , not given a choice as the dust settles, retrospection remains  We will not Forget…. God Bless America, The Land of the Free!! Lord, Heal Our Wounds and Protect Our Servicemen and Families Poetry is: Passion, imagination and intellect running together. Aloha with warmest regards, Cheryl Stewart Koomoa [This message has been edited by CSKpoet (09-08-2002 11:58 PM).] |

 (big hugggssssss) Oh Cheryl, this is so very powerful, I understand why you cried writing this, because I cry too thinking of September 11 and the families that suffered, but I don't only cry in sorrow but also blessed knowing God graces us all and His love goes on! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, you are an angel of words, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Cheryl, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

This is tremendous...powerful! The next few days are going to be difficult, as we're going to relive it all again... but how much harder it's going to be for those who lost their loved ones. Lary |
