Smoke and Prayers

Smoke And Prayers The day your world came crashing down; Was you very much afraid? Did you fall to your knees without a sound; Hoping that your life would be saved? As the memories of your life quickly flashed by; Did you say a prayer and recite your loved one's name? Was there a point in which you solemnly said goodbye; Or was your last minutes spent looking for someone to blame? Did you question if Creator had forsaken you; Or did you feel his presence near? Did you feel as if you was attending a great retinue; Or did the chaos and noise make your thoughts unclear? As the towers fell from the sky; And the smoke engulfed your vision, Did you know it was the day you would die; And making peace with it was the only decision? Did angels appear to you at that moment; And are they with you still? With a beautiful choir they sing your condolence; And reward your earthly goodwill? May you rest in peace in the arms of heavenly beings; And should none forget your face. Spoken prayers for your family and friends; May they feel the world's mournful embrace. In memory of those who died on 911
