| A Powerful Poem: |
It was late one Tuesday evening,
Before a mother could sit down,
To tell her only child about
The terror that hit downtown. |
She looked into the eyes of her son
God, she loved him so,
She felt her heart begin to break
And the hurt begin to show. |
She gathered all her strength and courage, as her
story she began to tell.
"Baby don't cry, but I'm afraid daddy
Might be under a building that fell." |
The boy looked back at his mother,
His eyes made not one blink.
And the mother's tears began to fall.
What would her baby think? |
You see, his dad is a firefighter,
And his hero from the day of his birth.
He loved his dad more than anything else
That could ever inherit this earth. |
The mother's head began to drop,
Her forehead resting on palm.
She thought her son would be upset.
Instead, he was very calm. |
The boy leaned over towards his mom,
And put his hand upon her head.
In her ear he began to whisper,
And this is what he said: |
| "Mommy please don't cry,
I knew daddy wasn't coming home.
I talked to him just a while ago,
But it wasn't on the phone. |
He told me that he loved me,
And he promised we'd meet again.
He told of his new home,
And the job he was to begin." |
"God is building an army,
And there are many angels needed.
That, is where daddy and the others went.
They weren't all defeated." |
It was then, the mother lifted her head.
The tears streamed down her face.
And she could feel her husband's presence,
As it filled her heart with grace. |
It was then she knew her son was right.
He was in God's great army now.
She also knew her son was safe,
That he'd be kept from harm somehow. |
So, evildoers of the world beware.
An army is on the way.
Bolstered by new angels,
Who left the towers that day.. |
Their commander has never been beaten.
His power has never been matched,
And if evil thinks He was almighty before......
Well, the surface has just been scratched! |
GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!!! |
