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".

My deepest sympathy to all who lost friends and loved ones
in the terrorist attacks on USA, 11 September 2001.

I pray to Our Father in Heaven, you will find comfort
in knowing people from all over the world continue to hold
each and every person who suffered and continue to suffer,
in our daily thoughts and prayers.
May God bless you all with His Light, Love and Wisdom
all the days of your lives.
