Our Lady
I wonder what she thought, As she stood there strong and tall;
She couldn't turn away, She was forced to watch it all.
Did she long to offer comfort, As her country bled;
With her arm forever frozen, High above her head.
She could not shield her eyes, She could not hide her face;
She just stared across the water, Keeping Freedom's Place.
The cloud of smoke and terror, For awhile covered up her gaze;
Seemingly so small within the harbor, But she stood unafraid.
How dignified and beautiful, On a day so many died;
I wonder what she thought, And I know she must have cried.
She stands there for us all, Looking out through the haze;
Until we can recover, Keeping Freedom's Place.
NOTE: Freedom is Not FREE!

Think of all the people , that never got the chance
To say their last good-bye, without a backward glance.
Think of all the people, that said, "Have a good day"
As they walked out of the door, on their very last day.
Think of all the children, that said, "Mom don't be late.
I'll see you when you get home." And now they sit and wait.
Think of all the lovers, running late and short on time
To give that last kiss and hug, if they'd only had a sign.
Think of all the friends, that had a silly fight
Never got to say "I'm sorry," now will never see the light.
I mourn for all the people, that died without a clue.
I hurt for all the living, that sadly never knew.
It'd be their last great hug, it'd be their last sweet kiss.
It'd be their last big smile, from the ones they'll always miss.
Think of the ones around you, the ones you loved so strong.
Take time to say, "I'm sorry," to anyone you've wronged.
Don't waste a precious moment, assuming that they know.
For when these people pass, it's too late to tell them so.
Yesterday is already gone, tomorrow may never be.
Now is all we have, to make our loved ones see.
