Poem
Father, I know we talk a great deal directly, most of the time, though you send my Guardian Angel Raul' to speak with me others. Even though you can still hear our conversations, after all you see all and hear all. This time however, I really could use a one on one. Because I have a special prayer for you. Father, In Your Mercy: Hear My prayer First I pray for the souls of the victims of 9/11. Those who were in the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, as well as those who had shown uncommon valor aboard flight 93 who knew they were about to die. Father, In Your Mercy: Hear my prayer For the first responders, the Firemen and women, Police Officers, Transit Police, Citizens and all other first responders who ran to not away from disaster, who sacrificed themselves to save others. Father, In Your Mercy: Hear My Prayer For our then President, who at the time of tragedy was with children, reading, whom in the hours directly after and for weeks was forced to make decisions that only You should have to make. For the Mayor of New York at that time, who soothed a City that witnessed one of this Country's worst tragedies. Like the first responders he ran toward disaster, not from it. Father, In Your Mercy: Hear My prayer For the Families, left behind, for the Husbands and Wives who lost Spouses, for the Children who lost Parents, Parents who lost Children, for all who lost loved ones that day. Most especially Father, for the Newborn who will never know the Love of their Parent lost. Father, In Your Mercy: Hear My Prayer For this Great Nation, who it's people after a decade, still mourn it's loss. It has touched us all. Father, In your Mercy: Hear My Prayer Father, one last thing, I Pray for tolerance and understanding for all the peoples of Your Earth,so that one day, we may finally Live in Peace. Father, In Your Mercy: Hear My Prayer For all those who died and those who live with the memories of 9/11/2001 Copyright 2011 Rd. Pickett
