God Bless the USA !
by Twinkle Wood-VanFleet
Headlines read
“America under attack”
My body began to shiver,
The World Trade Center One was on fire
My heart began to pound,
Why, oh why..this cold malicious act.
Please God, help the People,
Another plane heading for Tower Two
Oh, I Prayed.. Lord catch Them..
They’re heading straight for You.
Tears streamed down my cheek..
Our People scattered around,
Praying for New York City
Thousands never to be found.
Let Our Country show No mercy
Terrorism is not the way…
An ultimate price shall be paid
Soon comes judgement day.
In the aftermath of tragedy
Hoping pain eases in the hearts
Of the Families left behind
If not today or tomorrow…
Then somewhere in time.
Yes, I’m still proud to be an American
Even evil couldn’t take that away
I’m as free as Our People they killed
God Bless, the USA!

Thank you kindly, Jane.
I very much enjoy those of yours I’ve read. Just beautiful.
A bit at a time I’m moving mine over here. Not in order of being written, but they’ll be mixed about other posts. Some quite old, some newer.
Wishing you the very best
Always keep doing what you’re doing x
