LET'S NOT FORGET THAT MORNING

9 -11 − 2001

Much has happened since I first penned this.  
We are at war with an enemy that must be defeated.
We have a country that is divided with each side believing we are in the right.

We have leaders who are seemingly interested in only themselves and their wants
not aware or caring the world is almost in flames
Interested in golf and money raising and running before the camera
shame on them and on us for allowing this to happen to our beloved America

It is time for America to wake up and start standing for what is right
We need to vote all of the spineless loafers out of office

We have a election that is coming up in a couple of months
The election will determine what way our country will go.
I pray that God will again bring us back to the country of our forefathers.
A belief that God is God,
and only He is to be worshiped as God.
IF we do not we may be worshiping at mosques instead of churches

LET'S NOT FORGET THAT MORNING

The ringing of the phone woke me from a deep sleep
My daughter's voice high with anxiety said
Mom, do you have your tv on

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not yet was my answer,  why what has happened I ask
WE HAVE BEEN ATTACKED
They have flown planes into the
twin towers in NYC
 All of those people in it are trapped

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I turned my tv on and before My eyes  I saw the planes
go into the tower
 I couldn't drag myself away from the tv most of that day
Tears run freely from my unbelieving eyes
as I watched the towers tumble down into tangled debris

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I prayed for people I didn't know and their families that would
never see their love ones again
I called and talked to my son and daughter
just to hear their voices
knowing in my heart that over a thousand  mothers could
never call their children again---------

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

People were helping people they did not know
A  wonderful  outpouring of love
I will never forget the firemen and policemen doing such brave acts
The world went mad that day
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
But,  the terrorist did something they didn't plan
They made us wake up and realize there are people
out there who hate us, Just because of who we are
We must be vigilant,  Freedom is not free

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We must be willing to sacrifice for the good of the all
There is evil in the world and we must be aware of it
Thank God that we have Pres. Bush as our leader
God bless him and Please, God, bless America

2 Chronicles 7:14

If My people, which are called by My name,
shall humble themselves, and pray,
and seek My face,
 and turn from their wicked ways;
 then will I hear from heaven,
 and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.

King James Bible

PLEASE AMERICA TURN BACK TO OUR GOD
