Michael J. Falotico Poet Couplet

Our Faith Tested

Ten years have come and gone..
                                          So many lost but we still we go on..
 
                                          Our faith tested by demons that fly..
                                          Still moist tears that will never dry..

                                         All races join together holding hands..
                                       Remembering those who made a stand..
