The towers were falling How many more suicide planes? Air controlers were calling Divert to Canadian lanes So many people on the ground In those small northern towns People came from all around Crowded rooms with happy sounds No one had to ask for their aid Such a great out pouring of charity People meet and friendships were made God bless this act of kindness We often forget our friends to the north We take their friendship for granite When we were in need they came forth Good neigboors helping in our benefit paladin [This message has been edited by paladin (09-11-2002 09:32 PM).] |

Yes, it's pretty fantastic how much we really are sisters and brothers. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Paladin, a wonderful note of thanks to your Canadian friends to the north. I don't think it was so much an act of pity but one of brotherhood... we were/are all in this together. God Bless America...God Bless Us All. ~Hugs across the border my friend~ |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) God Bless You, sweet friend, I too thank all our wonderful neighbors of the north, our father-country the United Kingdom, and all our other friends across the world for their support during this tough time, God Bless You and America and everyone, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Robert, thank you for sharing! May love and light alway shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton (God Bless America) "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

We have several Canadian members of PiP...I know quite a few of them through their poetry and their sharing...and for them, may I say, the world is a much better place. |

Paladin---and a very heartfelt "thank you" to you, from your Canadian friends! This was an incredibly sweet and sensitive poem, recognizing the friendship between our two countries. What hurts you---makes us cry! And many tears have been shed by your friends to the north. God bless you all! Earth Angel |

A moving thankyou note indeed. We would do it again especially if it meant that lives would be possibly saved. I heard a friend talking about Gander today. Small Town, large airport, an international stop over point, passengers diverted there were taken into homes to wait out the air traffic freeze. I more than likely happened other places like that too. God Bless America Sherry |

paladin - I believe that there are no borders when it comes to brotherhood or sisterhood. We should always be there for each other. Well written piece. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |
