I wrote this on the first anniversary of the September 11 tragedy * * * Such a loss incomprehensible Feelings simply like no other Husbands, wives and children Maybe a sister or a brother They are never to be forgotten Those events of that terrible day The dust took so long to settle The sun struggled to shine a ray Blank faces walked the streets So was the depth of their despair They were plunged into darkness So thick with smoke was the air Many souls had cried out helplessly But so many were never heard Mass confusion and hysteria Most unable to speak a word The events of September 11 Are etched firmly in our minds A day of disbelief for many A holocaust for all mankind Each day we all now savour Our world will never be the same This was not some Hollywood movie Or a fictitious computer game We will never fully recover From the images that we was Now we all must stand united As our countries go to war I reach out my hand of friendship As we close our eyes and pray And remember those lives lost On that dark September day I am in motion |

Ah Sue, such sadness. I can still feel the disbelief I felt that day. But it was inevitable that we, the U.S., some day had to join the rest of the world in its subjection to terrorism. If only the press did not replay over and over the horror, then perhaps the act might lose some of the impact the terrorists are hoping for. What good is murder and mayhem if there's no publicity in it? Can't cause as much fear then - just a thought. Would that we could all love oneanother and see our common bond, that of humanity. Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |
