REMEMBERING

Nine yrs ago today the World was stunned by the events that took place in America .... Watching programmes on the TV this week of 9/11 still stuns and upsets me . How can the human race inflict this horror on each other ?? !! .. Why cant we all accept that different nations believe , worship and live in a different way to each other .. But there will always be those who dont believe in Freedom , who are power crazy or that their religion is the 'ONLY' religion . That is why we have to 'remember' all those who died on that terrible day, and along with those , we should also remember all 'our' Armed Forces who have given their lives in the name of Freedom in all Wars and are still doing so today .. God Bless Them and to those who lost their lives may they Rest In Peace ...... I'm not going to add anything more today but will leave you with a poem i came across on a web site which i found quite moving ...

Take care until next time ....love and hugs Melita xx

9/11

FROM THE SMOKE CLOUD CARRIED
BY THE NORTH WIND
A SNOW OF PAPER FELL:
LEDGERS , PRINTOUTS, COMPILATIONS ,
REPORTS.
WHOLE PAGES ,
AND FRAGMENTS WITH CHARRED EDGES
SNOWED ABOUT A LONE BAGPIPER
PLAYING " AMAZING GRACE " IN A
BROOKLYN FIELD,
PIPING THE INNOCENT TO GOD'S
PRESENCE .
