GROUND HEROES

Through the rubble and into death
The smoke within, they catch a breath
On that spot they call ground zero
Emerge the ones I call "ground heroes"
Tirelessly they work
As they did before this terror
Our lives have been all changed
How can anyone bring such horror
Bucket by bucket and
with God's good grace
hope drives them on
as the grief shows on their face
They carry on throughout the night
While the sleeping world forgets
Embracing one another,
So no one has regrets
No one will ever say, they "didn't do enough"
That they "gave up too soon"
For they gave it their all,
And all they gave for us.

Robbie I loved this poem the first time I read it, but after just returning from visiting Ground Zero it means even more. You caught the emotions of all of us who watched the horror that day.
