We Will Remember

Missing image
    With the light of the day reaching up from beyond the horizon,
We awaken once more to remember.
We give prayers for those lost in the carnage,
For those who now sleep in the heavenly realm,
And we shed our tears in silence as we bow to pray for them.

With the coming of the dawn is the feeling of sorrow,
As we once more pay tribute to those taken from our earth,
And who now sit at the throne of the one and all mighty.

When Saint Peter opened the gates that unforgettable morning,
The cries of a million Angels showered upon the earth,
And heaven saw dark clouds roll across the Angelic skies.

With the light of day once more reaching from beyond the horizon,
I recall the moment and tears well in my eyes.
I never knew one could feel so numb,
And we shall remember long into the years, into the centuries.

WE WILL REMEMBER

    My dad was going to be on that flight. One that crashed into the Pentagon. My cousin, NYFD. God was with my dad, that day, when he couldn't make his flight because it was overbooked. Sent him back home. God was with my cousin that day, and let him live while dozens around him died.
    This poem...got me crying the moment I started reading it.
    Very touching, about a very good subject.
    This tops as one of the best things I have ever read on AllPoetry.
    Thought you should know that.

      Thank you so much for your wonderful comments. It is such a sad thing that so many wonderful lives were lost for no reason. So many were affected that day, even here so far away. I know my JJ and I were both numbed by what we saw. It was around 11.30 at night here when it came on the tv and we just couldn't believe it was real. Thank oyu so much for reading.

    DEEPLY TOUCHING!!!!

    So much is made about this around the world, and rightly so. I feel so sad that something like had to happen but even more sad is that similar acts happen everyday in all parts of the world. Some maybe on a lesser scale than this one day, but still these dastardly acts are happening the world over each and every day. My heart goes out to all no matter where they may be, for them and their families who will suffer their whole lives because of what a few do. 's

      Thank you for reading. I sat here yesterday, which was sept 11 and cried as I watched again the video we recorded of that day. I cried as I tried to write this piece in dedication to them. Your visit is much appreciated.
