Silent: 9/11/01 **not written by me**
written by suicide_penguin12:34 PM 3/13/05"You say you will never forget
where you were when you
heard the news
On September 11, 2001.
Neither will I.
I was on the 110th floor in a smoke-filled room with a man
who called his wife
to say "Good-Bye."
I held his fingers steady
as he dialed.
I gave him the peace
to say, "Honey, I'm not going to make it, but it is OK...
I'm ready to go."
I was with his wife when he called as she fed breakfast
to their children.
I held her up as she tried to understand his words
and as she realized he
wasn't coming home that night.
I was in the stairwell
of the 23rd floor when a woman cried out to Me for help.
"I've been knocking on the door
of your heart for 50 years," I said, "Of course I'll
show you the way home.
Only believe in Me now."
I was at the base of the building with the Priest ministering
to the injured
and devastated souls.
I took him home to
tend to his Flock in Heaven.
He heard my voice and answered.
I was on all four of those planes, in every seat, with every prayer.
I was with the crew
as they were overtaken.
I was in the very hearts of
the believers there,
comforting and assuring them
that their faith had saved them.
I was in Texas...
Kansas...
London...
I was standing next to you
when you heard
the terrible news.
Did you sense Me?
I want you to know that
I saw every face.
I knew every name.
Though not all knew Me.
Some met Me for the first time
on the 86th floor.
Some sought Me
with their last breath.
Some couldn't hear Me
calling to them through
the smoke and flames;
"Come to Me... this way...
take My hand."
Some chose,
for the final time,
to ignore Me.
But, I was there.
I did not place you
in the Towers that day.
You may not know why,
but I do.
However, if you were there
in that explosive moment in time, would you have reached for Me?
September 11, 2001 was not
the end of the journey for you.
But someday
your journey will end.
And I'll be there for you as well. Seek Me now
while I may be found.
Then, at any moment,
you know you are
ready to go.
I will be in the stairwell of
your final moments.
Remember, I love you.
~God" |
