The Side of the Cereal Box

Well, I’m a day later putting it up than I’d hoped, but even yesterday would have been late, so… here goes nothin’.

“We Will Never Forget: 9/11″

And the world stood in stunned silence
as no one dared to breathe
The loss was opressive
the terror, real
the heartbreak, supreme
Whispers carried news on the wing to a disbelieving nation
They flocked to their radios, TVs, and computers for information
but found no reason
They turned to each other, and found little comfort
They looked to God, and were ashamed
they had forgotten Him,
but He remembered them,
He was waiting,
He was willing,
He was there before it,
He went through it,
And He will still be here when they forget again,
…waiting for them to remember.
