When will the hatred end?

September 11, 2001 will be forever sketched in our minds
We will always remember where we were when this tragic event was unfolding before our eyes
The images, for many, are far worse then any other kind
So sad, so sad, everyone around the world cries
New York City and the Pentagon engulfed in flames
And oh, all those beautiful lives lost in the buildings and the planes
People lost mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, sons and daughters, husbands and wives, co-workers, and friends
Please God tell me "when will the hatred end?"

This poem is in memory of all those who lost their lives in this tragic event. It is also dedicated to all the brave men and women who placed their own lives in jeopardy to try and save others. God has a special place in heaven for all of you! God Bless you all.

The words in the above poem cannot possibly express my sorrow for what has happened to our nation. I, like many others, not only in America but all over the world are completely devastated by this horrific event. My deepest sympathy to all those who have lost a loved one. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.

Firefighters Prayer

When I'm called to duty god
wherever flames may rage
give me strength to save a life
whatever be its age

Help me to embrace a little child
before it is too late
or save an older person from
the horror of that fate

Enable me to be alert
to hear the weakest shout
and quickly and efficiently
to put the fire out

I want to fill my calling and
to give the best in me
to guard my neighbor and
protect his property

And if according to your will
I have to lose my life
bless with your protecting hand
my children and my wife
