Father,In Your Mercy: Hear My Prayer
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
