America Is Not Dead Poem

America Is Not Dead

My soul just opened up today
As I saw all the tears,
It opened up as it had not
In many many years.
A young girl searching for her dad
My heart for her is sad.
A wife crying for her spouse
A partners love she had.
A brother searching for his brother
Feels like he's lost an arm.
A part of him that now is gone
He feels sorrow and alarm.
The City streets just overflow
With broken buildings now.
As smoke still swirls from this great pile
And brave firemen plow.
Through the rubble searching
For life that may still be.
Feeling sorrow within their heart
While burrowing through debris.
Our heroes tired and hungry
With courage trudge along.
While onlookers cheer them on
Their chanting like a song.
New York we feel as one
With you in your sorrow.
And to you we send all our prayers
Praying for a new tomorrow.
And that God wipe away each tear
That you so sadly shed.
And use those tears to show the world
That America is not dead.

Hero Poem by Floria

Hero...
Risking your life
for humanity.
You are human also...
But for the moment
you forget that..

Rescuing a man, a husband...
You are a husband also...
but for the moment
you forget that....

Rescuing a wife, a woman...
You have a wife also...
but for the moment
you forget that...

Rescuing a child...
Children you have also...
but for the moment
you forget that..

Hero you are...
And we shall never
forget you....
