He Was There

I know that there are some that still can't pray and others that ask, 'Where was God that day?' HE was there with each tear that's shed as the news reported, There is thousands dead!' HE was in the hyjacked planes so out of control His angels collecting each passenger's soul! HE was there at the buildings of the World Trade Center with Heaven's gates wide open bidding all to enter! HE was there in every tired body and grimy face that refused to give in to another trying to take his place! HE was there amongst every common place hero who repeatedly dug through the rubble in New York's ground zero! HE was there with the passenger's of Flight 74 whose sacrifice kept the enemy from the White House door! HE was there with those that died at the Pentagon when another plane flew into them like a bomb! HE was there when thousands of passengers landed unable to get home, so on Canadian soil they were stranded! HE was there in the smiles of the Maritime youth who came with blankets, fresh clothing and hot bowls of soup! HE was there when the President cried out with pride 'This will only make us stronger, we have GOD on our side!' HE was there when AMERICA was at Iraq's door teaching the Taliban what happens when you provoke a war! HE is there today as countless others reflect on the loss just as HE watched HIS only Son die upon the cross! HE WAS THERE! ©11/09/2012
