911 A Memorial Post and Tribute to Our Heroes, Victims, & Loved Ones
On this day more than any, I reflect, weep, pray, and weep some more over the senseless loss of lives from 9/11/01.
Did you know.....many people jumped hand in hand instead of being engulfed in flames? Did you now others were thrown from the windows by mere force of explosions? Can you believe Mayor Bloomberg excluded first responders such as firefighters from today's ceremonies?
I remember vividly this day in history. I taught at Montgomery Village Middle School, on relocation site at Tilden Lane, MD, minutes from The Pentagon. A day of terrorists attacks on the sanctity of innocent lives. We amassed to protect our children, the school in total locked down. The sky outside blackened not only from the smoke of the assault on our Pentagon, yet too filled with air responders, vipers, helicopters, it became more famous of a day than the Ride of Paul Revere, for truly this attack resonated the world over.
Please join me in solemn prayer and remember those whose lives were lost that day and others whose lives would be changed forever...
A serene tribute to these brave souls may they all rest in peace...
Poetry is my life, that is serious! Everything else can wait! I have 2 beautiful adult children and a daughter-in-law who are my reason to breathe.God was kind and gave me one of each! Soon I will be a first time grandmother to fraternal boy/girl twins, God willing. They are due the end of July 2013.
I have moved around a great deal, lived in 5 states and traveled abroad, would like to do a lot more of that!
Poetry has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately, life happens and all of my poems for the last 40 years have been lost. It crushed me. I have been building up my collections again, topics on LIFE and how I use poetry as my personal means of therapy and communing with God. Nearing completion of collection for publication soon! Stay tuned!
God bless you and your family. Please thank your son for his service to my country.
