A 9-11 Tale With Heart
A beautiful autumn day it was.
The gold and red sneaking in
the Central Park leaves as it
always does.
I wanted to stay home with my
wife and son.
But realized there were bills to
be paid and then some.
So after my shower, breakfast and
things,
I just sipped on my cup of Joe,
admiring our gold wedding rings.
Our son Teddy was at our feet.
I thanked God for us three, at our
cozy family meet.
.
Alas, too soon would I have to go.
I kissed Mary and Teddy and told
them, I loved them so!
Ah, the day was so perfectly chiseled
by God's own making.
I sat on the lone bench to thank
Him for His Glorious undertaking.
.
I grabbed my attaché case and off
I went.
To work in the great Twin Towers,
where I know God wanted me sent.
Everyone so happy that day, some
even spoke of Christmas?
Though it was months away.
I was grateful to God for all of my life!
Especially my beautiful son and stunning
and most loving wife.
Of course you all know what happened
next.
Hell broke out and we all did our best to
return safely to our earthly nest.
It was not to be for me!
The smoke thick and heavy overcame
me so rapidly.
I clutched my cross and begged
God to take me home.
I awoke, and the air was beautiful
and clear.
You know I already missed my son and
wife so very dear!
But I was being beckoned to gates of
gold!
And I knew the Bible well, I knew
what it all foretold.
And yes, the Gates of Heaven swung open
widely for me.
Now the real journey of my life,
was just beginning for me.

To all those lost on 9/11,when evil people
did do something evil to hurt others!
