~*One Voice*~

I've tried to find the words today
to tell what's in my heart
a way to vent...a way to share
but how is one to start

How do we write the horror
of the thousands who were lost
How do we pen the terror felt
as lives became the cost

How do we say "Good will prevail-
we shall not be defeated"
How do we shout with confidence
"Such acts won't be repeated"

How do we quill the anger
reaching far beyond the brink
How do we spill the endless tears
that flow in crimson ink

How do we rise up full of pride
in silent rage no longer
Together, my friends...we must be heard
one voice...united...stronger!

~vlraynes

you have not truly met the poet.

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Vicky, yes, we all have to come together and rise up, to harmonize the colors of freedom together under our Lord's light! (big hugggssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, I still can't believe this all happened one year ago! God Bless You!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

You said it very well. Our hearts will grieve forever, with words comes a certain measure of healing. Well done.

How, indeed, Vicky? One voice at a time, I guess...
