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

It's the children who will carry that torch, and keep fighting for freedom. You are right, my friend, they did do us proud, and it was broadcast all over the world tonight...thank you for sharing this writing, as the kids are our hope...~S~

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.

(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,

Your tender pennings this day have given me many tears~

You do justice to the name POET~
