Act of Archangels

when the smell of roses burn the nose
and the bee sting of bitter sorrow tastes like honey
When the recoil of a bullet's slap is felt by shooter
and penetration of soiled casing is repelled by loyalty
when angry words are buried on silent fists
and cocoons of safety fail to metamorphose
hell's tragic abode of cremating fire torches souls
heaven's fallen angels break the cardinal laws
One Man Makes a Difference
making a choice to leave behind his newborn child
to put aside his personal world for a greater one
draws his sabre of courage
and slew the dragon with unsurpassed resolve
Jeremy Glick, all 6'5" of him rallied around the Spirit
as God's benevolent Angel overpowered his foe
forcing United Flight 93 down in harmless Pittsburgh
while the White House took a deep breath
exhaled with unspoken gratitude
as lives were given to save lives
and Heroes were born
and shall never be forgotten.

Writer's note:On 9-11, an emergency no 911 call could prevent, was diminished, and a diabolical plot thwarted by three American Heroes:
Thomas Burnett, 38,of San Ramon, Calif., Jeremy Glick, 31, of West Milford, N.J.,
and Mark Bingham, 31, of San Francisco
diverted a flight probably destined for the Capitol of the United States.

(tears fall down my cheeks) God Bless These wonderful men, sweet friend, I heard others too were heroes on that flight, sadly their names are unknown, though they will always be true American heroes! (wipes tears) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is one of the most powerful tributes I have read today, I am adding this to my library as it is a strong message of courage and honor, God we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jeff, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

This was so well written, and had such an important message, that I am sitting here is silence---no, in a state of reverance. Well done! And blessings to these men---and to all the other heroes of 9/11---and to you, ShadowRider, for this tribute to them!
