Linking with dVerse poets as we dialogue…
“We have a choice whether to implode and disintegrate emotionally and spiritually…or (to) become stronger.” – Rev. Billy Graham
honey, i think you better turn on the news
“A second plane has crashed into the world trade center…”
dear God, is this a bad dream or the end of the world?
“Run, the tower’s coming down!”
oh, no; all the firefighters are in there
“American Airlines Flight 77 has just slammed into the Pentagon”
save yourself or save another?
“God help me. Jesus help me. Are you ready? Let’s roll!” *
Another plane dropped from the sky in rural Pennsylvania
“Tomorrow New York is going to be here and we’re going to rebuild.” **
united we must stand.
“Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America.” – Pres. George W. Bush
*Todd Beamer, upon dropping call to his wife from Flight 93.
**Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, following the 911 attack in NYC.

Great post Lynn… Our true foundation was built on GOD. Nothing can shake, implode, or otherwise destroy that rock solid foundation.

A good poem of remembrance. We need to keep these things in mind each year, must never forget!

The more we talk and write about it the more catharsis it can provide. Nicely done Lynn.
Sep 12, 2015 @ 16:23:42
Yes, thanks for your comment!

is Heaven is

it.. so

Jesus said, “The kingdom of heaven is here”…in us, with him. But sometimes it’s hard to see and remember that.

An event that changed the world. Most tragic. Reminders are necessary from time to time.

I recall that time… it was surreal like a movie ~ I hope we don’t experience the same tragedy again ~ I like the remembrance to Sept. 11 Lynn ~
Sep 11, 2015 @ 21:21:06
Thank you, Grace.

There are so many horrors still happening.. every day around the world.. we have yet a long way to go..
Sep 11, 2015 @ 14:34:48
An extremely tragic event that still runs chills up my spine..! I hope with all my heart that nothing like this ever happens again.. may peace reign in our world..Amen.
Sep 11, 2015 @ 12:05:07
So glad you chose to remind us of the awful day–I still feel the horror of it and, quite frankly, am holding my breath that we don’t have another event like Bengazi.

We must stay strong…
