Poem
Another morning I got up and my thoughts returned here. Just wanted to put something of the memory that lingers still today from scenes we saw of September 11th. Scenes we would like to but will never and should never forget. I do not wish to cause further despair to anyone but if anything bring some hope to those who are suffering safe in the knowledge that they have the world behind them. What has happened cannot be undone but with strength and assistance from those who had the core torn from them as the horrors unfolded and they watched on in disbelief we can be there for one another. We can make sure the memory of this tragic affair lives on, and in doing so help keep our own souls alive and kicking... in hope all was not in vain, but that we shall learn from it and let the promise of peace win through. My heart and thoughts go out to all. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It doesn't matter today if we build a building of immense height like North and South towers of World Trade Centre even if to use as defence system just as we would have built a castle on a hill in times gone by - times have changed New buildings and memorials will now stand in recognition of who/what was on said land Their memories will always continue as will the vision on t.v. all did view Where minds stood still in disbelief while strike after strike we all felt grief Where tears were shed by billions of eyes War was declared with no defence in skies It doesn't matter today we most probably wouldn't even see as our enemies approached Like a thief in the night they came stealing from us that most precious those whom we loved or cared about What matters today is that for all eternity history has been made Times we cannot change Broken genealogical lines gone forever Marks made on the landscape - irreplaceable Never can anything stand for what was again Humanity and psychological effect remains We may not all have lost those known to us but we stand together shoulder to shoulder Encircling those that remain Knowing each one of us had our soul torn Our eyes darkened by Hells darkest Angels When none could believe that before their eyes Planes came crashing through the skies Out of ashes a phoenix, a nation arises and with it the world reawakens We will not sleep but remember A tragic time when so high a cost was paid with unknowing souls now recognised What right to take such brave innocent lives
