What My Heart WHISPERED TO Me About
September the 11th year 2001
My friend Laurie asked me
What does your heart tell you
To write
About the events
Of 9-1-1 tonight
I answered my heart asks me
WHY!?!
Did it take a tragedy
Such as 9-1-1
To bring this nation together
As one
And
WHY!?!
Are we back to the way
We use to be
Before the 9-1-1 tragedy
No more unity
No more flags flying
Proudly
Diligently
Freely
No one knew that morning
That later that day
They would be mourning
If they were able to escape
Such a horrible fate
The passing of so many brave men and women
They stormed those crashing buildings
To try to save the lives of as many as they could
And then they themselves
Became entombed . . . consumed
By the smoke, rubble and debris
All of these brave men and women
Need to be recognized all throughout eternity
Just as our brave men and women overseas
Should
Be recognized by us
Getting down on our knees
Every day and every night
And we should pray
They will come home to us soon
And not in a casket
That will be transported to a tomb
I may not agree with why they are overseas
But that does not stop me from getting on my knees
DAILY
Because they are our
Mothers
Fathers
Sisters
And
Brothers
And they are all worth praying for
They are over there fighting for our freedom
Just like the police, fire people and civilians
That rushed into those burning buildings
I hope and pray one day we fly a
U-N-I-T-Y
Flag
Where all can share in this GREAT land
We call Earth
We are all brothers and sisters
No matter how much
Or
How little melanin
In our skin
We all bleed red blood
And if you research our roots to the very beginning
We all have the same dna
No matter what race, creed or religion
We all need to come together
How many more innocent lambs have to die
For all of us to see
That we are supposed to be united
As one
One nation
The HUMAN population
That is what my heart tells me
Thank you so much for asking Laurie
