I Prayed....

I dedicate this poem for all those that gave their lives for freedom....

For their souls to keep,
for all those that weep,
the families of those who
are missing, and for those
who have left us.
They stand, as a band of
protection all around us.
For in God we trust as well
as our government, united
we will all stand, undeniably
proud.
Those that sent this dreaded
evil upon us, will be alone in
a crowd.
Don't give up hope, never think
that it was in vain, all the
sacrifice, is not lost, and their
reward will ever be great as they
step inside that golden gate....
