(This is a poem I wrote on September 11th, which the most saddest part to me is thinking of the children and how they are going to be safe from the tears and visions. God Bless them all and all of you and America and those who reach out to us across the world!  ) Don't Stop Dreaming By: Noah Eaton 3/2/02 Sometimes the skies are blanketed in gray I feel God is lightyears away from me Tears of angels slide down this vapor canvas Painting silver linings I still strive to see I close my eyes and pray How can we make all these tears seem bright? I fall upon my hands and knees I fall on my bed and cry But I know I must go on and try Although I'm hurt I must try and fly Like Peter Pan I will think happy thoughts I know I'm not the only one feeling this way Children of the world... Don't stop dreaming God Bless your hearts Believe you can fly... Children... Don't stop dreaming Hold onto your dreams Sweet dreams tonight... There come times when life can be so cruel I for one am a witness to sadness But I know a friend in me Who's taught me He will promise us justice He has shown me hope He encourages me to spread my wings I may be no angel But I know how to cry... But I know I must go on and try Although I'm hurt I must try and fly Like Peter Pan I will think happy thoughts I know I'm not the only one feeling this way Children of the world... Don't stop dreaming God Bless your hearts Believe you can fly... Children... Don't stop dreaming Hold onto your dreams Stay safe tonight... But I know I must go on and try Although I'm hurt I must try and fly Like Peter Pan I will think happy thoughts I know I'm not the only one feeling this way Children of the world... Don't stop dreaming God Bless your hearts Believe you can fly... Children... Don't stop dreaming Hold onto your dreams Stay safe tonight... Come child, come in out of the smoke I will give you love, I will give you hope  "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..."

Noah, this is so very beautiful, and my heart also goes out to the children, most of all. They are the innocent victims, and their world has been forever changed. But they will also be the ones to make it better, and because of that, we must guide them out of the smoke, my friend.... Excellent writing Noah, it warmed my heart... |

Many children were badly hurt by the events of 9/11. You show great understanding, Noah.... |

Dearest Noah, what a kind and caring heart you have. Well done!! Chris  Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

"Come in out of the smoke - I will give yo love, I will give you hope." Beautiful. And we will, we must, children do so for us everyday. Thank you for a wonderful piece and a sweet reminder to give a smile to a child, renew the strength in all our hearts because hope and faith are ultimately strength.
