My heart is
breaking for those whose lives are directly
impacted by the tragic events of today, and all of it's ramifications for the
rest of our earthly days.
I wish I could
take away these terrible losses, say something so
profound that it would ease the pain. But
there are no words that can express my heart
feelings, or that can offer comfort to the
families who have suffered so much loss. All
I can do is pray that The Great Comforter will
provide the pathway of recovery for each
individual, our nation, and this world.
We mourn all
those who perished so senselessly...the passengers
and pilots of the crashed flights, the workers and
visitors in the World Trade Center and the
Pentagon, the firemen, and all the people in and around the
attacked areas. Our thoughts and our prayers are
with you and your families.
Life gone
in an instant
With blasts of hate from air
Caught within a moment
This deed brings such despair
Contemplate this evil
What good has this deed done
Left us filled with hatred
This battle never won
Torn with mass destruction
Deliberate hate designed
For only in one instant
Deep sorrow for mankind
Families filled with horror
Hearts are filled with tears
Within us saddest moment
What purpose brings us here
Let us join united
To say a silent prayer
For those who were the victims
Their voices we must hear
People joining hands now
Creating biggest chain
Bringing forth a miracle
Where evil brought such pain
Innocent are dead now
What power does this give
Lost within the horror
But yet we all must live
Fear cannot bring power
For deep inside hate looms
The power of the people
In silent prayer resumes
Hands that reached so bravely
To help those find a way
With hearts of grateful nation
We bow our heads and pray
For all those who are lost now
On this most dreaded day
We pray that God will give us
The strength to find a way.
