The USA considers this an act of war.
It is a time to pray for the family and friends of those 6,300 plus lost.
It is a time for the citizen of the USA to pull together and support whatever action is necessary to bring those responsible for this horrendous act to justice.
Below is a poem written by a sister in Canada ... it expresses the support of many of our Neighbors to the north ... I thank her and them.
Sept 11, 2001
. . .
Sun rises
to greet a
new day
filled with
new hopes
new dreams
new promises
. . .
For one brief moment
everything as it should be
and then . . .
Time Stopped
Hearts broke
Dreams ceased
Screams of Terror
Tears of Sorrow
filled the air
the sun blocked
with blackened smoke
. . .
Why this
unspeakable carnage?
What good could ever become
from such horrendous acts?
Could it be that someone
truly believed it would
cure the woes that
beset this earth?
How uncomprehending
their hearts - how dead their Spirits
. . .
As days pass
and the death toll rises
the images are forever
etched in our hearts
and minds of this day
when someone decided
to shatter human lives
and attempt to destroy
a Nation's Heart
. . .
It failed you know.
Infact it only united
the peoples' resolve
to stand Free and
it joined like minds
from around the
world who rise and say
NO MORE!
We shall not Fall
to the tyranny
of oppression,
suppression
and terror that
rules the heart
of evil incarnate
no matter it's face.
. . .
Sept 11 2001
a day when
time stopped
and America
wept . . .
May God Heal your
broken hearts and
God Bless the
United States of America
