Remembrance 9/11 ~ 2024

 

September 11, 2024 

We are indeed besieged with unprecedented challenges, 

We yet ask, "Where "Does the Pain Go. 

We are called upon 

To hold to our heartfelt devotions 

To our faith, to our power..

We,  in Remembrance pause, we gather as community, 

as family, as friends, of those who were 

victims of a merciless attack, 

to offer solace, 

a knowing that calls to heart, 

to honor the heroes, 

the first responders of the day, 

and each day since, 

who have suffered the pain, and loss of life 

from the devastating effects of toxins upon lungs, heart and BEING.

We Pause in Remembrance

Tears, heartache, shock, beyond all conceal

For the pain, the horrors, remain yet real
Time alone does not ease the grief, the pain
For the inward scars of loss long long remain.

Tales of responders, heroic be each deed

Humanity and care, held as a living creed. 

In loving respect, in a faith the soulful heart does bear

And so skyward be our eyes to the embrace of heavenly care 

The touch of GOD ever real

Supernal be the blessings of All we to feel

In this moment as Below as Above 

Beheld we be by the embrace of Love 

Our loved ones lost, be yet their dreams held true

Their legacy granted onto a me, onto a you 

Let us this day imagine the dreams once real

That in our hearts we shan't conceal 

What vision, what promises made, hankered in their soul

Let us in loving PRAISE honor their envisioned goal 

And in praise, hear we the sounding call of each name

The dreams, the visions held, let us proclaim

In our hearts grant each their completed goals

PEACE onto our pulsing hearts and departed souls.

PEACE onto our pulsing hearts and departed souls.
