the president spoke

the president spoke last night: about our continuing war and fight:       he told us to go about our business as usual: even though the FBI put us on alert full:       we were told intelligence reports have put us on high alert against terrorist these next few days: it left me feeling cloudy and hazed:       how can one go out and travel,and worry not about an attach: we know these evil powers only wish to pay us back:       at night i find little sleep:when my worry is far from shallow and so deep:       im anxious to get up in the morning to turn on the radio,and i hope i hear nothing new: that is the first thing i must do:       when i know nothing new is reported, i can then go along with my day: and for america and the world,for god to protect us from the evil of terrorism i pray:       in america we stand every child, woman and man: we will protect america all together we can:       we will watch over our land as we have never done before: america we will watch her from shore to shore:       we now may be at heightened security: but we are america land of the free:       the president asked the children of america to lend a dollar to help feed the starving children of afaganistan: together from coast to coast the children of america,will lend a hand:       our children will learn compassion and love: and the blessing from god above:       our children will come to know: love and kindness to all others show:       our children will live and grow: in a warm loving glow:       our children will learn to live in peace: and set the example to the world at least:     written:  12 october 2001:     jdj
