We remember
we will always remember
the dread we felt that day
~
The bewilderment
disbelief and horror
will never go away
~
These senseless acts still
strike me numb
after eleven years
~
And I honor each victim
family and loved one
though they can’t hear
~
This world is harsh enough
she doesn’t want our
added cruelty
~
But craves for peace, balance
respect and trust
to set our fears free
~
In numerology the number 11 represents:

Let us keep these words in mind today, eleven years after 9/11, as a token of hope for this day, this year, for the future.
Beautifully shared…
… doesn’t want our added cruelty ….. TRUE – doesn’t need it either.
Please also remember the millions of innocent lives lost in it’s aftermath.
Thanks for caring about us over here in the USA.
Beautifully written.
Hugs for sharing the grief of yesterday…today…and forever into the future.
Well said.
Beautiful words to remember those lost in a pointless cause. Violence for the sake of violence. We will never forget or forgive.
Well said. I still feel it, deep. Brings both tears and rage.
Don’t forget the 9, the number of completion. A beautiful poem, Marion, touches my heart.
