I got this re: 9/11 but I think it runs even deeper! This hasn't been broken since September 11, please keep it going....this
poem has been kept alive and moving since that time. In memory of all those
who perished this morning; the passengers and the pilot on the United Air
and AA flights, the workers in the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon,and
all the innocent bystanders. Our prayers go out to the friends and families
of the deceased...
