HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?
As America Mourns 9/11/01

How could these buildings meant to bring the world together meet with such tragedy?
What could possibly cause such hatred for our fellow man to bring us to this place?

This day the world looked on in disbelief as the angel's tears were flowing...
This day America looked for comfort as they watched this terrible destruction...
This day our fellow American's gave their lives trying to save others...
This day we finally caught on...We were meant to be brothers!

If we can come together when the world looks so bleak...
Can't we learn that love is what will take us to the peak?
Why do we ignore each other when things are looking bright?
Can't we just for once let tragedy make us see the light?

 

Can't we just see that there are angels by our side?
And can't we just do our part to try to turn the tide?
We aren't on this earth to just go along for the ride!
There are times it's up to us NOT to follow BUT to guide!

This day the tears fall freely from each and every eye...
The angels offer comfort as we say our goodbyes...
The eagle cries for freedom from the pain that grips our souls...
And God holds out His loving arms to take us into His fold.
