What's important to you by Loreda 2003

As a child I shivered
and trembled much with fear
When bad news was delivered
of hate and war so near.

I needed reassurance
from good ole dad and mom,
through every bad occurrence
they'd supply my loving home.

I saw my friends around me
selfish parents splitting up
who only cared about themselves
little lives they did disrupt.

How can we show our children
a better way of life
when dad is always seeking
to find a different wife?

And mom says, "Take this money.
Buy candy and go to a movie.
Not now, I'm busy Lovey.
My boss is really groovey!

Towers of Life

They stood hushed and glimmering in the night,
Giants able to frame the moon,
Slumbering magnificently in their might.

Day breaks and the sun gently warms their skin,
Veins begin to pulse with life,
The sprit of a thousand of kin.

Evil tears towards them through the brilliant morning sky,
Propelled by the blackest of hate,
Guided by a lie.

Barely risen they stand with no defense,
Innocent and distracted they are not prepared,
The pain about to be inflicted intense.

Like a bolt of lighting that shatters the morn,
Evil crashes once then twice into their sides,
Their bodies are scorched and torn.

Horribly crippled they continue to stand,
Holding onto life until the last,
Orders are given, they take the command.

The battle is brief, the giants begin to yield,
Life drains from every artery,
Their fate is sealed.

Collapsing to zero,
First to one knee then to the next,
From their dust will emerge so many a hero.

The question is asked,
How can such evil exist.

They were our neighbors,
Someone to whom we'd just say "hi."
Never did we ever think
The next day they would die.

We never took one last long look
Or gave an extra smile.
The attacks on September 11
Taught us to go that extra mile.

We'll never be able to hug them again
But now we can hug others.
And say an extra "I love you"
To our children, friends and mothers.

We miss our neighbors every day
And wish they were not gone.
But we'll cherish those that are still here
While we will move on.

What now? by Ray 2003

The ninth month brought the end to many,
The eleventh was a day of testing
Nine one one a call for help from any
It left no time of resting.

True warriors dressed in red suits
Navy blue or yellow
They called in all the recruits
to rescue ailing fellow.

What senselss acts of violence
Rain down on us today
what path will cross with terror
and cause us great dismay?

This is the world our children face.
Their lives are being molded.
The acts of hate, time won't erase,
Like a shroud it has enfolded.

What can we say? What can we do?
As time whirls swiftly by
Let love be instilled with a family view
So our values never die.

Through day and night
Night and Day we waited we watched for a sign that our loved ones would come
the leaves changed colors the snow did melt without most of them our lives filled with doubt Hopes that the rescuers would find someone
we gave our hope we gave our prayer we did all that we could we did all that we should Yet most of us yearn with a strong heart
that more should have been found to fill us with joy Pictures courtesy of CoolClips.com
