Despair, tragedy, loneliness…

These words come to mind about 9-11

Questions often asked, yet never answered

Why did it happen?

Did we deserve this?

When is my father coming home?

No one could have thought a country so great

Could possibly be laid to ruin like this

No one could have thought such overconfidence

Would possibly damage our country

Would possibly destroy families

Would possibly make our lives a run from fear

And how much confusion and misunderstanding

Could cause fingers to be pointed at peacekeepers

Rather then demons among them…

And yet…

Unity, strength, faith…

Three words more powerful then the fist

Though evil may come to this great country,

It will not succeed

For love conquers all

And though you thought you have bruised us

You only brought us together

And surprised even ourselves, on how great we really are

And those who think we have lost

That, which weakens us, only makes us stronger,

And which weakens us only brings us together
