An
Angel....
An Angel peers through the glass,
In the stillness of the night.
"New York City" in her view,
Is she ready for her plight?
God told her only yesterday,
What will happen after dawn.
He vowed that He would be there too,
As the aircrafts left the ground.
Oh, that fateful September morn...
The Angels in the heavens,
Were called to be at that shore.
"Why can't this be prevented?"
Said the Angel to Our Lord,
"Do all those people need to die?"
"Is that why they were born?"
Looking into the eyes of the Angel,
Our Lord proclaimed to her,
"These very special children,
vowed so long ago,
To help all mankind to evolve,
Make it better than before.
The "bravest of the brave"
Is how they will always be known.
They gave their life
So all may see
Freedom, Justice and Liberty.
They will bring the nations together,
As they've never been before.
They will lead the world to where,
Peace and Love prevail forever more.
The world will heal together,
One by one, shore to shore.
My children who are left behind,
Will look to the heavens above,
Wondering how I let this happen,
To the ones that they all love.
We will have to let them know,
That their loved ones are safe and sound.
Their physical bodies are only a shell
that walked upon the ground.
The eternal soul is living,
It can never be destroyed.
They live forever in your heart,
No one can take that away.
We will whisper in their ears,
and appear into their dreams.
We will let them feel the gentle brush
Of your Angel wings,
Whenever you are near.
We will let them know that they are loved,
by all that they hold dear."
An Angel looks toward the city,
to the west upon the fields,
She then turns her head again...
on to Washington D.C.
She bows her head and turns away,
For tomorrow they will be no more.
She kneels in prayer to God above,
for strength that she will need.
She will carry them to heaven
So many she will bereave.
She will return, so many times,
Over the next few days...
She will carry them to meet Our Lord,
While humankind sits in a daze.
But many of her Angel friends,
Will be watching over Earth.
To help and heal the hurt and pain,
and diminish all the fears.

With the help of many Angels...
In loving memory of all the lives lost,
and the families and friends they left behind...
May God Bless You All,
With Love and Light Always...
