One Year Ago Today

Our country will forever mourn

that tragic day, when grief was born.

So many lives were lost that day,

our nation cried... and knelt to pray.

The burning sky, when buildings fell,

the day so many said, "Farewell".

Still, we wonder and we ask, "Why?".

Why did so many have to die?

May God have mercy, as we recall

September days that hurt us all.

Hard times many will be facing,

with heavy hearts that are racing.

We won't forget horrific sights

brought on by those September flights.

Many gave lives to help others ~

leaving wives, children, and brothers.

In the "Land of the Free and Brave"

Where Millions see our flag still wave,

this day of aching hearts and fears

will be remembered many years.

For those who's hearts are still bleeding,

I pray for peace you are needing.

I'll kneel with you, and we can pray

about "one year ago, today".

A thought to leave you with:

Kneel to the Lord in prayer. You can stand up to anything that faces you if only you will continue to believe and pray. God is there for us all. Please, give your troubles to Him. He is the one with the answers.

I have also been asked to spread the word to my readers, to please put your headlights on the day of Sept 11 and place a small flag in the window of your car.

Thank you,

Ruth Ann
