Silence before the storm
We were unprepared for the catastrophe
Flights of horror collided into our dreams and hopes
Standing here alone, hoping for rescue
The darkness is spreading
I see the fear in a little boys expressions
Blindfolds him as his loved ones fades away
Just in front of my eyes
Taking him into my custody
Sweeping away his tears
and sparing him from the massacre
Together we are stronger
but it is not enough right now
How I wish to take my complains back
To take away all my fault
So the Creator cannot force me to overcome this
nor this little innocent child.
Suddenly when all hope seemed gone
and the sky could not look more frightening
A splinter of hope falls from the sky
I saw you my Saviour
You took us under your wings
We were too fragile to neglect
And as I look back today
I feel blissfully happy
Blessed to have an adorable child
and a mighty Saviour by my side

9/11 was a terrible day and I think you expressed the emotions very well. I think we all need a savior at some point in our life. Well done! Thanks for entering and welcome to the site

Thank you for entering.
An interesting poem of faith, the strength of that shines through the whole of your write.
I struggle to find anything to do with the Red Cross here, unless you are thinking of a parallel between the goodness of our Savour and the goodness the Red Cross do.
Humble apologies here, of course you have written about the other option.
A well penned piece of work, well done and thank you for entering

This is a beautifull written poem and telling a horrifying tale, yet amidst all this you can maintain your faith and save a child.
Helping this child as God helps you to be stronger as well.
Let the ink flow and your fingers dance
