United It is amazing How in one single moment Our existence can shift Peace, security, tranquility Lost in a suffocating haze Of smoke, ashes, and ruins Nightmares become reality As the haunting echoes Of a thousand screams And millions of tears Ripple through our people A wave of numbing shock Sadness and compassion Take a hold of our souls Our hearts reaching blindly Attempting to comprehend Searching for what has been So violently taken from us Strong, proud and united We collectively stand tall Our heads held high Even as the teardrops fall We bond as a nation Refusing to give up Refusing to give in We will pick up the pieces We will begin to rebuild With an unwavering faith And love for our country Faith in our God above And faith in our strong spirit Proudly, loudly exclaiming For all the world to hear That we are The United States Of America We will NOT fall We will NOT surrender United, we will prevail.

(big hugggssssssss) God Bless You, dearest friend, and it is all because In God We Trust! (sigh) As long as the torch remains held in Lady Liberty's hand, as long as the bells continue to ring, as long we remain here: breathing, praying, and hoping, we will forever be united! (wipes tears) This is angelic writing, dearest friend, we will always remember, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Tara, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shie upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
