On the 11th of September 2001 our faith in humanity was torn apart, but it has since also been restored. By the way people are coming together world over in shared grief and outrage.The courageous efforts of the rescue workers, and ordinary citizens alike will never be forgotten. From those who gave blood to the children who made sandwiches for those waiting in line to hear news of their loved ones in Manhatten. From everyone who has prayed and lit a candles has come a tremendous out pouring of love. We will always remember.

Life gone in an instant With blasts of hate from air Caught within a moment This deed done brings despair Contemplate this evil What good has this deed done Left us filled with hatred This battle never won Torn with mass destruction Deliberate hate designed For only in one instant Deep sorrow for mankind Families filled with horror Hearts are filled with tears Within us saddest moment What purpose brings us here Let us join united To say a silent prayer For those who were the victims Their voices we must hear People joining hands now Creating biggest chain Bringing forth a miracle Where evil brought such pain Innocent are dead now What power does this give Lost within the horror But yet we all must live Fear cannot bring power For deep inside hate looms The power of the people In silent prayer resumes Hands that reached so bravely To help those find a way With hearts of grateful nation We bow our heads and pray For all those who are lost now On this most dreaded day We pray that God will give us The strength to find a way.
