And then...

[In memory of 9/11, loss, and service]

And then…

Heart-piercing shrieks as speechless horror unfolds
Panic thundering through the routines of the day
Blackness and grayness cuts through the blueness of sky
I wonder if the birds of the air also paused in flight to gasp

Darkness did not stop the light, it cannot… unless let
Hearts remembered the oaths vowed before God and Man
Living Images of the One who is Great Light burst forward
Loving, comforting, sharing, mending, searching, providing

Did you hear? Do you know? What is written? What He wills
That He will wipe the teary eye, death certainly conquered
Sorrow will flee, crying shall cease, pain no more, nevermore
Those times of old shall give way to the Goodness of a new day
The promise is firm; the Christ of the Universe gives His Word

I want to be your friend,

peace.

Loved the poem !

I think she really meant it when she created her user name.

So very powerful and inspiring!
