[hometext] => A Twin Towers Poem By: E. Wayne Searles
[bodytext] => Walking up those stairs out of breathe and stopping for another break Walking down the stairs were many wounded for God sake This morning I had a good breakfast then I kissed the wife and kids good bye I left the house early that morning not knowing it was my time to die The smoke getting thicker every step higher it gets harder to breathe any air Danger is calling us today to save any lives that may be trapped there To panic is no option must be brave and face the fight So many people in this building today something is just not right The rumbling sound begins like an earthquake has begun I see the light of the heavens now much brighter than the sun Walking up the stairs to heaven there was no turning around We all said our prayers amidst that last rumbling sound My shield and number may be found please bury me with dignity and pride I will be here by Gods side watching you and also be standing by your side Please don’t forget us we did not know it was our time to die We had no control over leaving you I know you have so many questions why Just know our hands are touching you as we watch over you each and every day Just know we hear you each and every time you have something you want to say To all our wives and children you understood our love for our job and you Just know we will always be by your side when you’re thinking of us, as you always do . . .
