America Under Attack 9.11.01

As I watched the TV,
A horror was to be found.
First both towers of the World Trade Center struck,
Then fall to the ground.

So with the Pentagon,
Each with 1 plane alone.
4 planes hijacked,
All of them our own.

Thousands dead,
Many lost.
All at such,
A sad cost.

Fear forgotten,
Hurt so near.
As each American,
Sheds a tear.

American under attack,
We now are angry so.
But God is in control,
This much we know.

So I pray for America,
I weep for us all.
Its sad it takes this,
To bring Amercia back to God to call.

4 Years Later I Recall 9.11.05

Its been 4 years,
But I remember it so clear.
When many died,
And the nation grew near.

9/11 was terrible,
The towers fell.
The Pentegon hit,
We thought we in hell.

I still remember,
The news broke my heart.
But God was in control,
From the very start.

We remember today,
That thousands were lost.
We must not forget,
No matter what the cost.

It hurts my heart,
To just see.
That is what,
9/11 means to me.

So 4 years later,
I will not forget.
When the twin towers,
And Pentegon were hit.

9 Years 9/11 9.11.10

The Towers fell,
One then two.
Pentegon hit and in PA,
Where the plane once flew.

Thousands of lives lost,
Evil act to see.
This was 9/11,
9 years ago it was to be.

I saw the holes of the World Trade Center,
Where they once stood in place.
The signs of missed loved ones,
Each and every face.

I felt the pain as I talked to firemen,
Who lost so many to the day.
when evil acts tried,
To take our freedom away.

Let us not forget all we lost,
Come together again heart to heart.
Do good, fight evil,
Be smart.

For lives were lost,
Not in vain.
If it changed us,
Not the same.

Take a moment,
Pause to recall.
9/11 when planes hit 4 place,
Including making the Twin Towers fall.

Rush Ahead

When I rush ahead,
God may hold me back.
My senses of danger,
Not always in tacked.

All I see are beauty,
I ask for my need.
God will answer,
I will succeed.

Yet sometimes,
God may hide me.
For reasons unknown,
He says no to protect what I cant see.

Little things unknown,
But me who knows not at all.
Sometimes I try,
And He let's me fall.

Rushing ahead again,
Praying for the good.
Wondering on replies,
Doing what I should.

It's in these moments,
When I must pause to stand.
God will guide,
As He takes me by the hand.

But only if I trust,
He'll work it out.
Have a lot of faith,
And no doubt!

Dreams Taken

Let down,
Broken heart in two.
I thought it was right,
What did I do?

God took my dreams,
No return of another door.
Now my faith,
Is shattered on the floor.

All the signs pointed,
Yet here I am.
In a mess,
Once again.

I can't figure out God,
Why You let it go.
with no way to survive,
How can you let it be so?

You promised me You'd guide,
But I am left waiting in the stands.
Isnt He the one,
Who promise He understands?

I didnt see the signs,
God are You there?
How can You leave me here,
It's just not fair!

What did I do wrong,
To deserve this broken heart?
I can't figure it out,
I am not that smart!

If You hear me God,
Here is my plea.
Please answer my dreams,
You chose to take from me.

All The Way

Sitting and praying,
Hoping its true.
My life is so crazy,
What can I do?

Don't understand this journey,
Abandoned road of dismay.
Knowing in a moment,
It could all be taken away.

So I keep my eyes on Jesus,
Try to give Him my cares.
Know even as I worry,
God counts my tears and hairs.

Peace comes when I let go,
Ponder not the road before me.
It's in this moment,
I am truly free.

There sits my wings,
Time to fly away.
It's my moment of faith and trust,
Gods with me all the way.

Best Place To Start

Few years ago I had it together,
Never thought I would change.
Till my world was rocked forever,
Now it seems so strange.

I try to put the pieces together,
They always fall apart.
Maybe in the end I need to see,
I must begin with my heart.

For if my problems don't get better,
I can only look to me.
As the source of the issue,
So I can at least be free.

Normal comes as it wants to,
Trust in God it will be okay.
In the moment feel so alone,
He will never go away.

Now I am in the present,
Wondering what I have learned so far?
It's simply start with me,
Raise that bar.

If I want to figure out the answer,
To the greatest thing to break my heart.
Must go back to the beginning,
This is the best place to start.
