courageous lives lost
humanity found
from such tragedy
burgeons
the finer threads of spirits
insurmountable odds
weaved with glorious bands of togetherness
this moment shall define
a turning point of true consciousness
seeping into every kind of American that there is
across this freedom loving nation
the transparent waves of tears
drown the hate in those who kill without care
each other
and now
our innocent and hard working citizens
a new National Holiday upon the latter 2002
mile stone's door
though we will never forget
we will as well
one day grow to forgive
then for the betterment of all human kind
we and the rest of the world will move on
much good will come of this
from these recent dark days endured
Forgive Them Lord
many so silently cry
for they know not what they do
one powerful sentence
represents
the corner stone
of tomorrow's peace
TO REBUILD THE INFRASTRUCTURE
OF AFGHANISTAN
IS TO REBUILD HOPE IN THE HEARTS OF
HER ENDLESSLY RAVAGED PEOPLE
while simultaneously building inner
security in post September 11nth America...........
