AMERICA HEALS

I am the American you killed on Tuesday.
I have many faces.
I am an airline pilot,
I am a secretary,
I am a police officer,
I am a flight attendant,
I am a firefighter,
I am a street vendor.
I can be all of these things because
I am first and foremost, an American.
I am also a Father,
a Mother,
a sister,
a brother.
I am an aunt,
an uncle,
a Grandmother,
a Grandfather.
I am a child.
Even though I am all of these things,
I am first and foremost, an American.
You can break my body,
you can destroy my buildings.
But you will never break my spirit,
nor destroy my essence.
Because I am, first and foremost,
an American.
I will live forever in the hearts of loved ones,
and in the hearts of my countrymen.
With every flag that is flown,
with every story that is told, I will survive.
Because I am, first and foremost,
an American.
I AM AN AMERICAN
