American Tragedy
NEW YORKERS and ALL AMERICANS

Tragedy that was unforseen
Brutal actions cold and mean
Innocent victims,Wept with Fear
Sounds of Screams as Planes collide
Firefighters at the scene
Oh Dear God! This is not a Dream
Everyone watched in disbelief
Tears of grief and Pain all over
Bodies Scattered Everywhere
Trapped in the rubble and debris
Many missing, Few are found
Who could do something so Profound
World Trade Towers melted down
Terrorists will be found
America is United
ONE Together UNDIVIDED
Peace is what We Stand for
Not Barbaric Acts of War

Candle Of Love

Firefighters ,Police Officers,ALL Touched by the Events of Sept 11th .

Candle of Love Forever
Burning Flames Together
Eternal Glow..Sparkling light
Keep Alive ....Shining Bright
I will have a wicker handy
In case the wind should blow
I will keep the Candle Lighted
So that friendship will grow
And if by chance the light dies down
Remember in your hearts
That only the wax melted
The love will never part....

Firefighters Legacy

Raymond Meisenheimer,Peter Brennan.William McGovern,John Crisci ,NYFD

Firefighters! Where are you?
Can you hear the cries?
Searching for you Frantically
Prayers that you survived
Pieces of the broken hearts
Forever to be mended
Shattered wives and families
Left here unattended
It rips my heart to hear them plead
So many questions to answer
Saddened that still there will remain
So many answers with questions
Eyes filled with tears
Ever growing fears of
Bodies that may never be recovered
Remains may be gone
You will ALWAYS LIVE ON
YOUR Legacy Forever Uncovered

Firefighters Prayer

Firefighters and Rescue Teams Everywhere

God Bless the Firefighters
Who selflessly plunge in
To help us all who are in need
Without regard for their own safety
The Bravest and most persistent of
Men, Unfullfilled until they have
Saved many lives,even at the risk of
Their own survival
Courage demonstrated is beyond words
No scream for Help goes unheard
Thank God for Firefighters
I commemorate You
For all the FEARLESS acts
That you do
All the efforts that you give
Firefighters make the world
A SAFE Place to live!

Ground Zero

Triology to All Brave Heroes of Ground Zero

Open wounds of Americans...
Scabs have not begun to form..
Not for many years from now..
Will we ever recover the scourn?
Stabbing hearts of parents
Who lost daughters...
Daughters who lost parents...Lost
Multiple friends still not done...
Lost were spouses and an only son.
Mark the date when pain began
September Eleventh Two Thousand One
Torn apart deep inside...part of me
With those people died...Live in grief
Everday...thorns pierce deep..no relief
Platforms now built to welcome mourners
Who hid and cried on every cornor
Ground Zero is a sacred Place
Heroes Rest and Angels occupy space.

Holiday Star Dust

Firefighters ,Families who Lost Loved Ones 9-11-2001 Find Peace

Star Dust in Air..Loved ones Lost.. from the world we live in
Alive in the Hearts of those left behind...
From Dawn to Dawn....in pain to mourn.
Physical body was borrowed time..their
Presence and Aura remains adourned.
Holidays seem to accentuate their Loss
God has lifted them from Lifes Cross
Look up at the sky when Holidays are here
See the twinkling stars..Loved ones appear
If you must..Shed a tear..feel not alone
Spirits are near..I Weep with compassion,my sorrow I send
A Prayer for Broken Hearts to mend
Let Holidays be a time for miracles to come,
Fill empty Hearts With Peace and Love..
Trim the tree with Lights of Hope, Let
Gifts of Friendship be your antidote.
Lighted Candles shine upon you..Wisdom,Understanding to Comfort...Renew
May your lives be Blessed with inner strength to endure
Until....Someday you to will Be In Gods Light
With your family forever to Reunite

Heavenly Angels..Sky of Blue
Cotton Candy Clouds To Move

World Peace

People of God
Do not hate
Love and respect
Teach, Create
Waste not a moment
Treasure each Day
Live to the fullest
Let not life slip away
Take the time to dry a tear
Comfort those who live in fear
Put a smile on many faces
Blindfold their color,
Mask their races
Make a mark...instead of a scar,
Someday you will be a shining Star

Fire Angels

NYFD Prayers that our Angels Are Guiding You to their Recovery

Fire Angels in the sky
Looking down...wonder why
Here on earth for you we cry
Search for all while above you fly
Not for a moment will we give up hope
Each piece of metal, piled debrie examined
Carefully in hopes to retrieve...Tons of
ashes and scraps to uncover with
despriration your remains to recover
Round the clock fellow brothers dig
Hoping for the recovery of every buried Rig
Prayers forever to be said as each
FireFighter bows his weary head...
Look Down upon them and shine your light
Guide them as they work through the night
Keep them safe from your fall
Fire Angels Forever on call

Stars And Stripes In Heaven

Honor of Our Brave Heros Independence Day Tribute

Listen to the Bells Ring Loud
Angels celebrate on a white Cloud
Chanting words as Freedom brings
Voices echoe songs we sing
Though the day has just begun
Freedom beats like a drum
Hearts Full Of Love and Peace
Americas' Tribute Sweet Release
FireFighters... Heros Today
Lost souls for whom we pray
Rest In Peace with honor we wear
Stars and Stripes in Heaven we share
Fireworks light up the sky
In Honor for those who have died
Marked are the lives of the Brave
God has their souls..they have been saved
Eagles fly where no man has gone
Red White and BLUE
Flags wave on

Rose Petals and Tears

Red velvet Rose Petals tossed in the Air
For every Lost Angel rolls down a Tear
Though has passed one Year..Alive in spirit
Presence is here..Selfless and Brave
That Horrific Day..Sacraficed life to save
Forever will play beyond today never forget
Firefighters could not turn Away
Arrived at the scene despite of the screams
visions of trauma are now everyones Dreams
Scraps of metal and debrie ashes to dust
Memory..Heros climb the ladder to Heaven
Etched in Stone...September..Day Eleven
Red Velvet Rose Petals vision unclear
Eyes Blurred shed many tears
White Doves fly high Above..
Angel wings Spread.. spirits of Love
Candles burning..glow so bright
Radiates warmth and light through
Ground Zero Eulogy sight
Sacred forever...Day and Night
