Remembering 9.11

September 11th.

Twelve years.  

Where are we?

We are weary of war.  
We are weary of loss of precious lives, 
wounds of the body and spirit of innocent people,
weary of omnipresent tragedies wrought by the evil insanity of humans visiting the most incredibly cruel horrors on other humans.


We turn then today, as always, to our heavenly Father praying for Him to grant us peace through his grace in bringing out the best that we can be. 

And now, we present a poem by one the many millions
who still remembers 9/11 today.

Our tears meld with yours

to prepare this wound

for future growth.

Our prayers reach out

to heal these emotional scars,

to let you know

your loss is ours.

Though more pain may lie ahead

It is what lies within you

and those who have perished

that has meaning;

it is the human spirit.
