Day Of Sorrow

Two black jets destroyed
our buildings.
We lost our friends and
our famalies.
It was the day that we
put aside our personal
troubles.
Work side by side to
rebuild our tomorrow.
Not let evil keep us from
working together and
continue with our lives.
Our land is strong, we
fear not evil we will
prevail.
Evil will never win.

Eyes of an Angel

Children at play on merrygorounds, happy
and laughing no pushing no fighting not
kicking one to the ground.

Children on their knees side of their
beds asking for peace and stop the
bloodshed.

Parents tucking their children in for the
night with their teddy bears at their side.

Angels see how precious children are,
their desire to learn and grow with love.

Spirit Of A Child

A Mother holds her son close
to her chest.
Tears role down her cheek,
knowing he will be at rest.
Her son looks up at her sad
face, don't cry mom, I'm going
to a unpainful place, I won't suffer
anymore. As he said with his last
breath.
She rocks her son, his arm falls
to his side.
A warm glow passes over her
as his spirit lifts to the heavens
with the angels at his side.
Moms love is for eternety, not
just for awhile.

Love you son.
