Message from the World September 11, 2002 A flag is flying from my upstairs window which looks upon a street for all to see So they will know I mourn as an American and though I'm far from home, I still believe... I still believe in why that flag is flying It represents the birthplace of my youth The hopes and dreams that I was born and raised on But most of all, it represents the truth... A year ago today, events were tragic The world looked on as under God we fell but only to our knees, and not forever We've risen once again, as time will tell... Although today is sad in it's remembrance I see the USA is not alone Free nations of the world have re-united and out of tragedy, new strength has grown... With smiling face I walk outside my doorstep My flag flies proud above this British street And as I look around, my eyes are opened onto a sight that knocks me off my feet! In windows up and down, our flag is flying! Those stars and stripes of red, pure white and blue The message from the world is clearly given: It reads: "You're not alone, we stand with you" [This message has been edited by Sunnyone (09-11-2002 09:10 AM).] |

I still believe in why that flag is flying It represents the birthplace of my youth The hopes and dreams that I was born and raised on But most of all, it represents the truth... "You're not alone, we stand with you" Thank you! We are united in our grief. Sad but united all the same. I wonder will the tears ever stop today? Maybe they will cleanse the spirit some. I can only pray that they will. |

Oh, WhiteRose, I think that time will diminish the tears, but not the pain we feel as a people. But it does help to know that all over the world we have friends who care, and understand. We can take comfort in that today, and from now on. |

THANK YOU! It is comforting to know that we stand united as a nation and throughout most of the free world. Many flags fly freely today. Hugs, Marti |

Sunny, thanks for this. What an inspirational thought, that all the way in England, our flag flies today. (And I was never patritic, either!) Sandra |
