FOR THE KIDS The children of our future Read the names of those passed A tear was shed for every one From the first to the last. "Daddy, we miss and love you." "Mom, you’re in my heart and prayers." "My Brother, you’re my hero." And, "We miss you.", from sisters. Godfathers and Godmothers Aunts, Uncles and all Kin Were all named and honored With loving feelings from within. Some names were hard to say But, the Kids did quite well Loved ones knew, who they were That was, easy, to tell. They stood there before us And got through it with few tears With a presence and maturity Far, beyond their years. They did us proud, showed the world The meaning, of "true grit" And let all know, freedoms’ torch Will forever, remain, lit. September eleventh, two thousand, three Del "Abe" Jones |

I saw them reading the names, and saw the courage it must have taken. Then I started thinking action is part of the healing process..I think. Maybe participating gives a voice to it all. Love is an action word, and this might have been a way for them to be able to *show* the ones they loved how they feel. Sorry this was long winded, but my husband asked me what I thought about the kids doing that, and that was my reply to him. This write prompted me to share my thoughts. Thank you for sharing this!!  to us all for the spirit to fight back from the terror this brought, and it's lasting affects.SharaRose @-->-- Of sound, and speech let all lift the hearer! |

 (big hugggssssssss) If we can teach our children the values of love effectively and love them with all our hearts, children can truly embrace the future with hope and possibly prevent any tragedy like this from ever repeating itself! (wipes tears) May our children remember clearly, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Abe, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
