Dear Mr. President – Have a Cookie a week ago a friend did what a friend does – a favor when asked how best I could repay, he said “I like chocolate chip cookies!” I put it on my “to do” list two days ago I picked up ingredients for chocolate chip cookies yesterday, our nation was attacked war is imminent people need blood families need prayers the country needs unity children need reassurance calm needs to permeate and level heads, preside and grief will come, later tears will come, later faith needs to be now courage needs to be now belief needs to reign supreme in our country ourselves our President Dear Mr. President this morning I awoke grateful today I talked with people who hope you do the right thing this afternoon, I kept tabs on you, and yours, awaiting your words tonight I passed soccer fields, parents are with children giving support in a tomorrow to come Dear Mr. President tonight I shall bake cookies for the tomorrows that shall be in this, I have faith in you and yours in our country and it’s desire to remain free in the fact that we can come together as one I believe. Here, Mr. President. Have a cookie. 12 September 2001 |

Well, you knew I couldn't resist clicking on this title!---I thought, great! Sunshine has baked some cookies and they must be really, really good if she was offering one to the President! Then I read the poem, and food was the last thing I was thinking about. I can't impress upon you enough, how diligently I thought you expressesed yourself! P.S. If Mr. Bush passes on the cookie, may I have it? Earth Angel |

I hope your faith is not betrayed. I am still not sure. But give the man a cookie, he has been working hard(I think) Sandra |

WOW!!! Oh my gosh, I love this, yes, Bush may not be the brightest president, and he has his share of mistakes, but yet especially during this difficult time of our history he has kept us strong and going and that takes so much courage for one an to do for his country, God Bless Him! (big huggssssss) This is powerful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
