Poem Title:
Poem
A beautiful autumn day it was. The gold and red sneaking in the Central Park leaves as it always does. I wanted to stay home with my wife and son. But realized there were bills to be paid and then some. So after my shower, breakfast and things, I just sipped on my cup of Joe, admiring our gold wedding rings. Our son Teddy was at our feet. I thanked God for us three, at our cozy family meet. . Alas, too soon would I have to go. I kissed Mary and Teddy and told them, I loved them so! Ah, the day was so perfectly chiseled by God's own making. I sat on the lone bench to thank Him for His Glorious undertaking. . I grabbed my attaché case and off I went. To work in the great Twin Towers, where I know God wanted me sent. Everyone so happy that day, some even spoke of Christmas? Though it was months away. I was grateful to God for all of my life! Especially my beautiful son and stunning and most loving wife. Of course you all know what happened next. Hell broke out and we all did our best to return safely to our earthly nest. It was not to be for me! The smoke thick and heavy overcame me so rapidly. I clutched my cross and begged God to take me home. I awoke, and the air was beautiful and clear. You know I already missed my son and wife so very dear! But I was being beckoned to gates of gold! And I knew the Bible well, I knew what it all foretold. And yes, the Gates of Heaven swung open widely for me. Now the real journey of my life, was just beginning for me. . ~Dedicated by Panagiota Romios~ To all those lost on 9/11,when evil people did do something evil to hurt others! September 11, 2019
