Along with the rest of the country, I am horrified, shocked, and so deeply sympathize with the families of the bombing victims. My heart goes out to all of you.
What Can We Do?
What can we do in the face of such pain To make sure what happened will not be done in vain? How can we honor the loved ones we lost and deal with the grief of that ultimate cost? We can make it a promise to live every day To the best of our power, in our own human way, To be kind to each other and cherish what's real- Our family, our friends, and the love that we feel. We can cheer all the everyday heros we've met, The stories and faces we'll never forget...
We can reach out and give- and then reach out some more, We can help make a difference like never before. We can take a close look deep within our hearts And stop any prejudice right where it starts, We can vow to respect every faith, every creed, knowing each offers comfort to spirits in need. We an make this America's best, shining hour And ask for the wisdom to help guide our power, We can keep candels burning and proud flags unfurled, We can pray for our nation, we can pray for our world.
We owe it to ourselves, to our country, to the cause of freedom, and to each American who suffered so deeply, to always remember September 11th in our hearts and do whatever we can to make a difference in this world.
