Nine Eleven Memorial Building
9/11 memorial museum
I sat in silent thought and memory,
on the floor of the memorial building,
amidst bent crumpled steel beams,
remnants of walls and pipelines,
on the walls pictures of those who are no more.
In that silence was the muffled pain
of those who had watched in agony,
the heartache of those who lost
their dear ones, screams of children
for dear parents, and many
feelings of love that remained buried
in the rubble.
Hatred destroyed the steel beams,
the concrete crumbled, the twin structures
collapsed, but the strength of love
endured.
In the rubble and debris, hope survived.
Built here is a temple to the strength of
human endurance- and a testament
to the truth- that love always prevails over hatred.
