9/11 Dedication ~ Another Day in Paradise ~ Poem

~ Another Day In Paradise ~
~ Dedicated to all those 9/11 left behind © ~

Hot coffee, child on knee, another day for my love and me, A gentle kiss at the door, jingle of keys, in the car, Radio on, didn't see my mom that I adore, See her tomorrow, I'm sure.

Down the highway, crowned with distant spectres, their windows glistening in the morning sun, Growing taller as the road runs on.

The street newsboy with undone laces,
Shouts out the lament of others in faraway places, falling on ears too hurried to listen, as paces around him quicken.

For it is Another day in Paradise, time to roll another dice, Squeaky shoes, expensive hues, Wait for the elevator to rattle its way upward, Doors open, hustle into space, with leather case, Jokes and tales already begun, over hot coffee and iced buns.

Switch on, program to run, things to file, meetings today, What a beautiful sight across the bay, Tap on the door, "Your meeting's at four,"
Loved ones captured in gilded frame, to busy to see them looking at me.
Tapping of keys, as my thoughts appear upon the screen, Then silence, it seems, as it waits for me to contemplate the next line--it's gonna be good this time!

All went well that day until hell knocked on my door, I fell to the floor, upon broken glass, The dragon's fire burns inside, must call my wife, can't move, nowhere to hide.
In twisted web did I lay, amongst girders of steel and falling clay.

The screams and bells grow distant now,
"I love you" was the only sound, as the darkness closed around.
Except for one drawing near, "Dear Father, is it you?"
In the stillness I hear "come with me" as he took my hand,
We rose upon celestial waves, and left this land, Upward did we rise, for another day, in paradise.

May God's blessings abound to you

In every little way

May you taste and see His goodness

Every time you kneel to pray

May your day be brightened more

With your Father's loving touch

And may you sense He's with you now

And loves you very much.

GOD'S BLESSING AND A PEACEFUL WEEKEND

MY PRECIOUS FRIEND♥ Love Janine

Dear Chris this is a very lovely Tribute to the 911 /2001 Victims.

The time stopped for me that very moment.

I clearly remember that day was at work in a hospital and returning from the ward was passing by a TV room for patients when this happened , it was a total shock and disbelieving...Still feel the shocking moment. Thank you Jesus and thank you Chris.
