Faces In The Window


AS BLUE SKIES TURNED TO BLACK SMOKE
THE COLD THOUGHT OF WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED HIT ME. A HELPLESSNESS FEELING FILLED MY HEART, AND I CRIED.
ANGELS PERCHED ALL AROUND AND WAITED FOR YOU,
AS YOU FELL INTO THE ARMS OF JESUS.
ALL THE LITTLE FAMILY CIRCLES, NOW BROKEN.
OH THE SOULS MUST HAVE FLOWN LIKE DOVES FORM A CAGE.
OPEN THE PEARLY GATES,A MULTITUDE IS COMING HOME, OH LORD!!!!
THOUGH EARTHLY ANGELS ENTERED FROM THE BOTTOM WITH HOSES,
THERE WAS NO HOPE, AND THEY DIED TRYING.
YES,THEY DIED AS HEROS .
I WILL REMEMBER YOU, NOW AND ALWAYS.
OH HOW YOU MUST HAVE FELT DURING THE FEW MOMENTS YOU HAD.
IN HEART,I WAS WITH YOU,AND YOU WILL NEVER BE JUST FACES IN THE WINDOW TO ME!
AS THE NATION WATCHED IN HORROR, WE BECAME ONE AGAIN.
IF UNITED WE STAND,THEN WE ARE OUR BROTHER'S KEEPER.
AS THE ASHES AROSE, TEARS FELL IN YOUR HONOR.
GOODBYE MY FRIEND, MAY WE MEET ONE DAY ON THE OTHER SHORE.
