Heros

Folder: 
Remembering 9/11

The images flash across the screen

Of heros and heroines

Digging through the rubble

And looking for lives

Holding on to that glimmer of hope

To find one who survived.



They put their feelings on hold

While the families they try to console.

They come from every walk

And their pride in our cohesivenes

Is all they can talk.



We are all heros who stand tall this day

Strengthened in our resolve to make them pay.

Yes, everywhere I look, it is heros I see,

Firefighthers, police, rescue workers, John Q. Public,

You and me.

Everyone of us that has stood to say

I am proud to be an American,

Yesterday, tomorrow, and today.



You may take our security, but never our faith,

The resolve of free people, you will not shake.

So bring it on and be prepared to die,

Because I see nothing but heros on our side.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

To all Americans everywhere that are giving blood, money, and their backs to the rescue efforts at the WTC.  To all of us that can't be there but give our emotional support to the families, and those working at ground zero.  Take pride America.  Reach down for that little extra.  Do your job a little bit better to do your part to battle the forces of evil.  Don't lose faith because now is the time to draw on that faith for strength and resolve. Hold your heads high, because "We the people" are our country and we are heros one and all.
