In Remembrance

When the Towers Fell
by Stephanie Sargent
September 11, 2001

Somewhere out there, somewhere today

People scream, people pray

As horror filled faces look heavenward

At the tower that fell without a warning or word

As the ashes and smoke filled the street

All you could hear were moans of grief

The sirens come, the black sets around

Glass, steel, and people lie on the ground

How many dead, how many alive?

How many are still trapped inside?

Tears stream down soot covered faces

Firemen run as their heart races

The nation watches as they see

The freedom that was stripped from everybody

How many children go to bed without dads?

How many moms go to bed so sad?

Heroes were made trying to save

They did not know that this was the day

That they would go, that they would fade

God is watching, God is here

God is with us, have no fear

For He is wiping every tear

And if you could look, if you could see

God is crying for you and me.

May God's loving presence comfort those today who were touched by this tragedy.  My prayers are with you.
