Nation Of Survivors

by Kersten   May 25, 2007


If you were one of the many family's that had a loved one lost in 9-11 then please read this its heart felt and so true.......

In a Bright September morning without and warning at all,
A few thousand lives were shattered as we watch two buildings fall.
And a few billion souls felt empty as the flags at half-mast fly
In the memory of the innocent who didn't have to die.

We've lost brothers, sisters,cousins. We've lost family and friends
but we've made the choice not to forget their lives and tragic end.
Though we've had our share of troubles, we've put them all aside.
As a nation grieves we find ourselves defending them with pride

We're a nation of survivors, with one heart we share tear
But we live to serve the memory, not giving in to fear,
Though they try to take security with things they've done and said.
All their acts of in humility bring unity instead
So we stand here as a family.
One heart, one soul, one voice
We're challenged by this moment and united here by choice.
