The Day

This was the day of horror
No eyes should ever see,
With loss of life and innocence,
Hearts torn from sea to sea.

In memory of those murdered
by terrorists on Sept. 11, 2001

Sunset over Los Angeles
Sept. 11, 2001
Even the sky mourned this day.

ARE YOU WATCHING?

Are You watching us, O Lord?
As the sky is filled with flames,
As our hearts are torn asunder
With the growing list of names.

Are You watching us, O Lord?
As our heroes dig and cry,
As the children ask and wonder
Why their parents had to die.

Are You watching us, O Lord?
As the plans of death are made,
As the anger and the hatred
Raise a hand that won't be stayed.

Are You watching us, O Lord?
As our hearts look for release,
As our minds wrench in confusion
Seeing war but seeking peace.

Are You watching us, O Lord?
As we bow beneath the shame,
As we witness evil actions
Hiding guised behind Your Name.

Are You watching us, O Lord?
As each decade comes and goes,
As our footsteps seem to echo
Through a world lost in woes.

Are You watching us, O Lord?
Hear our broken spirits sigh.
Still we grasp the hope of ages,
Knowing that You, also, cry.
