As September eleventh comes around, we remember the two beautiful towers that fell to the ground. It was an act of terrorism this we know, and the tears of America now show. This country is going to war, more of our woman and men will be lost for sure. Now time has passed about a year, from when we lost those lives so dear. This time will we just sit and watch this war? Or will we stand and fight for something more? Will our country stand and fight for justice? Yes it will and not for just this. We will fight for the lives that were lost, and for the peace and security that they cost. The deep water that seems to surround us now will soon be drained, and America will rise again to reign.
--------------------------------------------- I lit a candle outside... trying to remember so many names...... remembering how many died...... and so many families left unsaid.... some still wishing for that one day to come... they will get a call saying they found their loved one... A NEW DAY IN AMERICA Today I saw a flame arise from ashes cold and gray Today I heard a nation lift up its voice to pray Today I saw a country humbled before its God Today I heard a free land its liberty applaud Today I saw a flag wave from every porch and lawn Today I heard a nation sing the old forgotten songs Today I saw a brother in every stranger's face Today I heard a single voice from every tongue and race Today I saw a people stand with arms and hearts entwined Today I heard their voices speak with unity of mind Today I saw a country so distinct from yesterday O that everyday in America could be just like today!

People went to school and work, I hope Osama enjoyed his little quirk. Students stand on chairs to see why the teacher stares. Teachers told their classes what happened to those great masses. Students worry, everyone in great fury. Everyone wonders, "Are they safe in those Towers?" Now I sit and stare at the land that's now so bare. What did we do to deserve this? Why this? Why us? One thing that we all know for sure is that United We Stand Forever More! --------------------------------------------- SEPTEMBER ELEVENTH The day we will never forget A tragic date that most of us regret. I feel nothing more than pity and anger for those who have brought Danger to so many lives. Look at all that's left behind: Husbands and wives, Homes with children left with nothing but tears falling from their eyes. Just remember; God will save us from our fears, So go on and wipe those tears. --------------------------------------------- THE ATTACK By Janine Susag Hi, my name is Janine Susag and I'm fourteen years old. Shortly after 9.11.01, I wrote this poem to express my feelings towards what had happened. Now I pass it on to you so that other people can view it and see that I understand. Always and Forever, Janine Susag, 14 I watched the unbelievable scene in despair Listened to the screams that filled the eerie morning air It seemed as if it was all a horrific story And all I could do was watch and worry I shuddered as I watched the planes crash Creating in each building a great huge gash I looked at an old picture of the towers proud and tall Then shuddered again as I watched them fall This wasn't the end of the horrible scene Not the last thing I will have seen Soon there were people jumping into death's arms And others rushed to medics to escape all harm I sat down on the ground, eyes glued to the screen Wondering who did this, who could be so mean? I wished that there was someway I could help But knew that there wasn't, I was too young to help I never thought the US would be attacked We were invulnerable; could not be harmed Though the number missing is more each time counted America has hope, for we have united --------------------------------------------- THE TOWERS A poem from an ex-New Yorker By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Remember the towers the saddest day in America when planes changed course bringing death from above. The towers which once stood with pride and reliance crumbled as wounded giants. Thousands of lives were lost in minutes leaving scars w/deep roots. The resolve of teams was necessary and immediate and may people were spared. We now strike at those responsible even though it seems impossible. Survivors lives may never be the same but we know God can heal broken hearts. lr smiles --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
