Addictedtoclassic Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 I wrote this on June 22, 2002 after a visit to New York city and the memorial at ground zero. Heroes come in all shapes and size And on that one day, the Angels did rise To protect New York City, and the families they lost They put forth their lives, no matter the cost They entered the buildings, to save those inside Then sprouted their wings, and flew into the sky They were not greedy, or selfish to care They?d soon lose their lives, so others?d be spared They just did their job, or that?s what they say We all pray our jobs, never end up this way They?ll forever be written, in history books But feel all their presence, when you take just a look The heavens were filled, on that tragic day With hero clad Angels, leading the way So those that they saved, who start life anew Will always be saying, we?ll never forget you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrampledUnderFoot Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Wow, that was great! Very powerful...I'm surprised no one has posted anything about this yet. It's a shame that some of these poems never get read or replied to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 TUF, it doesn't mean that they aren't read or appreciated for what they are and the message they bring if they are not replied to You can see by the number of views how many people have looked at the work on the forum, and I know I always walk away learning more about the poster without feeling obliged to comment at that moment. Aaron knows I'm a big fan of his writing and always enjoy reading it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addictedtoclassic Posted March 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Thank you guys. Suzy always has a way to make a person feel good. This poem was very hard to write as the situation really invoked a lot of emotion. It was so hard to see, especially since there was still dust on the sidewalk and buildings with windows completely gone. Nothing but a big hole leftover...

katie_sane Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 ~Musical Interlude~ Hole In The World There's a hole in the world tonight, There's a cloud of fear and sorrow There's a hole in the world tonight, Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow. They say that anger is just love disappointed, They say that love is just a state of mind But all this fighting over who will be anointed, Oh how can people be so blind There's a hole in the world tonight, There's a cloud of fear and sorrow There's a hole in the world tonight, Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow. Oh they tell me there's a place over yonder, Cool water running through the burning sand, Until we we learn to love one another We never reach the promised land.
