Voices From Up Under

for we will always remember two birds who shared a vicious story. causing havoc and destruction to our memory our hearts and our glory. Visions of falling figures jumping in desperation for they had no freedom. Crossing over to the light knocking on heaven's door known as His Kingdom. Courageous men in uniform with badges, and some with firehoses and axes are now missing in action. And as the chain of events unraveled this mountain of blazing thunder opens my heart to voices from up under. I come to you, in honor of these brothers, with great gratitude and respect. for they took a vow to honor, serve and protect. for on this tragic day of events we all lost a mother, a father, a sister, a brother, a friend, and a partner. who's never been more honored. for I am the voice speaking out to you on this day. Wishing you the very best. needing to show our support, love and respect. but time is of the essence, now can we bow our heads, close our eyes and pray... Father, We are all here to celebrate and to commemorate a treasure we found in our brothers. for this is a simple thank you, for the gift of hope. for this is the rope that gave us all a choice to grieve and cope. may you continue to bless our heroes, until we meet again. With love, signed... THE VOICES FROM UP UNDER Amen.

Thank you...A memoriam as of now. However, when I wrote it it was a tribute. I wanted to touch the families hearts that lost loved ones on 911 while at the same time never forgetting the heroes and the office workers in the towers..
