AMERICA UNDER ATTACK |
I wanted to grab a shovel.
To dig and to play some small part.
I wanted to help at this critical time.
I had no idea where to start.
A lot of folks needing some comfort.
So this is the route that I took.
I decided to follow this closely.
Writing poems, I assembled this book.
I've have never been quite this inspired,
in assembling this terror devotion.
I thought I would share my expression
of my feelings and every emotion.
I have written on what I was seeing.
The way that I have this assessed.
I knew that this book must be special.
I knew I must give it my best.
I hope in the way of these writings,
I might offer some flicker of hope.
That strength might be found in its pages.
That it aids in our efforts to cope.
God gave me a vision to write this.
If it sells and has any success.
The proceeds will go to the effort,
of cleaning this terrible mess.
Don't know how else I can be helpful.
So I'll cover this war we are fighting.
Til we've won, I will offer my poetry skill.
My part in this thing is my writing.
May God bless all my words as I write this.
May he bless all who read it some way.
The memories of events that unfolded,
since the terror that struck us that day.
