A Powerful Poem
> >
> > It was late one Tuesday evening,
> > Before a mother could sit down,
> > To tell her only child about
> > The terror that hit downtown.
> >
> > She looked into the eyes of her son
> > God, she loved him so,
> > She felt her heart begin to break
> > And the hurt begin to show.
> >
> > She gathered all her strength and courage,
> > as her story she began to tell.
> > "Baby don't cry, but I'm afraid daddy
> > Might be under a building that fell."
> >
> > The boy looked back at his mother,
> > His eyes made not one blink.
> > And the mother's tears began to fall.
> > What would her baby think?
> >
> > You see, his dad is a firefighter,
> > And his hero from the day of his birth.
> > He loved his dad more than anything else
> > That could ever inherit this earth.
> >
> > The mother's head began to drop,
> > Her forehead resting on palm.
> > She thought her son would be upset.
> > Instead, he was very calm.
> >
> > The boy leaned over towards his mom,
> > And put his hand upon her head.
> > In her ear he began to whisper,
> > And this is what he said:
> >
> > "Mommy please don't cry,
> > I knew daddy wasn't coming home.
> > I talked to him just a while ago,
> > But it wasn't on the phone.
> >
> > He told me that he loved me,
> > And he promised we'd meet again.
> > He told of his new home,
> > And the job he was to begin."
> >
> > "God is building an army,
> > And there are many angels needed.
> > That, is where daddy and the others went.
> > They weren't all defeated."
> >
> > It was then, the mother lifted her head.
> > The tears streamed down her face.
> > And she could feel her husband's presence,
> > As it filled her heart with grace.
> >
> > It was then she knew her son was right.
> > He was in God's great army now.
> > She also knew her son was safe,
> > That he'd be kept from harm somehow.
> >
> > So, evildoers of the world beware.
> > An army is on the way.
> > Bolstered by new angels,
> > Who left the towers that day..
> >
> > Their commander has never been beaten.
> > His power has never been matched,
> > And if evil thinks He was almighty
> > Before.....Well, the surface has just been
> > scratched!
> >
> > GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!!!
