- WE ARE ONE!!!
"WE
ARE ONE!!!"
(AUTHOR UNKNOWN)
As the soot and dirt and
ash rained down, we became one color.
***
As we carried each other
down the stairs of the burning building, we became one class.
***
As we lit candles of waiting
and hope, we became one generation.
***
As firefighters and police
officers fought their way into the inferno, we became one gender.
***
As we fell to our knees in
prayer for strength, we became one faith.
***
As we whispered or shouted
words of encouragement, we spoke one language.
***
As we gave our blood in lines
a mile long, we became one body.
***
As we mourned together the
great loss, we became one family.
***
As we cried tears of grief
and loss, we became one soul.
***
As we retell with pride of
the sacrifice of heroes, we become one people.
***
We are:
One color - One class - One
generation - One gender - One faith
One language - One body -
One family - One soul - One people
***
We are The Power of One.
We are United - We are America.
