9/11


As the soot and dirt and ash rained down,
We became one color.
As we carried each other down the stairs of the burning building,
We became one class.

As we lit candles of waiting and hope,
We became one generation.
As the firefighters and police officers fought their way into the inferno,
We became one gender.

As we fell to our knees in prayer, for strength,
We became one faith.
As we whispered or shouted words of encourgement,
We spoke one language.
As we gave blood in lines a mile long,
We became one body.

As we mourned together the great loss,
We became one family.
As we cried tears of grief and loss,
We became one soul.
As we retell with pride of the sacrifice of hereos,
We became one people.

We are:
^
()
One color / / One class
One generation One gender
One faith One language
One body One family
One soul One people
We are the POWER OF ONE. We are UNITED, We are AMERICA.
Dedicated to the victims of terroism and the loved ones that lost ones because of the terroism.
