> A Powerful Poem
> Author Unknown
>
> It was late one Tuesday evening,
> Before a mother could sit down,
> To tell her only child about
> The terror that hit downtown.
>
> She looked into the eyes of her son
> God, she loved him so,
> She felt her heart begin to break
> And the hurt begin to show.
>
> She gathered all her strength and courage,
> as her story she began to tell.
> "Baby don't cry, but I'm afraid daddy
> Might be under a building that fell."
>
> The boy looked back at his mother,
> His eyes made not one blink.
> And the mother's tears began to fall.
> What would her baby think?
>
> You see, his dad is a firefighter,
> And his hero from the day of his birth.
> He loved his dad more than anything else
> That could ever inherit this earth.
>
> The mother's head began to drop,
> Her forehead resting on palm.
> She thought her son would be upset.
> Instead, he was very calm.
>
> The boy leaned over towards his mom,
> And put his hand upon her head.
> In her ear he began to whisper,
> And this is what he said:
>
> "Mommy please don't cry,
> I knew daddy wasn't coming home.
> I talked to him just a while ago,
> But it wasn't on the phone.
>
> He told me that he loved me,
> And he promised we'd meet again.
> He told of his new home,
> And the job he was to begin."
>
> "God is building an army,
> And there are many angels needed.
> That, is where daddy and the others went.
> They weren't all defeated."
>
> It was then, the mother lifted her head.
> The tears streamed down her face.
> And she could feel her husband's presence,
> As it filled her heart with grace.
>
> It was then she knew her son was right.
> He was in God's great army now.
> She also knew her son was safe,
> That he'd be kept from harm somehow.
>
> So, evildoers of the world beware.
> An army is on the way.
> Bolstered by new angels,
> Who left the towers that day..
>
> Their commander has never been beaten.
> His power has never been matched,
> And if evil thinks He was almighty before......
> Well, the surface has just been scratched!
>
> GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!!!
>
>    KEEP THIS GOING
