Remember 9/11 Almighty God, the past year will be indelibly inscribed in our memories. We looked with horror on the terrorist attacks of last September 11th. But we looked with honor on acts of courage by ordinary people who sacrificed themselves to prevent further death and destruction. We shed our tears in a common bond of grief for those we loved and lost. We journeyed through a dark valley, but your light has led us to a place of hope. You have turned our grief into determination. We are resolved to do what is good, and right, and just. Help us to remember what it means to be Americans— a people endowed with abundant blessings. Help us to cherish the freedoms we enjoy and inspire us to stand with courage, united as one Nation in the midst of any adversity. Lord, hear this prayer for our Nation. Amen

	I remember that day, so many years ago. I was eleven years old in Grade 5. My teacher just got a call from another teacher and she started to cry...some other teachers were crying too, I noticed. I didn't understand what was going on. Then I heard that two planes crashed into the twin towers in New York City and I felt confused...and scared. I didn't understand how this could happen. Even though I'm Canadian, 9/11 affected me too. It affected all of us. Beautifully written poem, Danny. May God continue to watch over us, always. Amen.
