t’s been nine years, Lord <br />But the memories linger on <br />Please continue to help loved ones <br />Of the victims to be strong <br /> <br />Help us to understand something <br />That is so hurtful for everyone <br />Even innocent little children <br />For there is nothing they have done <br /> <br />The tears continue to flow <br />The hearts continue to ache <br />From those who love them so <br />There is so much still at stake <br /> <br />We take so much for granted <br />Every single day of our lives <br />But with these thoughts we treasure <br />Our husbands, children and wives <br /> <br />So if you can help each person <br />To try to understand <br />Give them special attention, Lord <br />Take them gently by the hand! <br /> <br /> <br />This was written for the victims and <br />their loved ones from the Oklahoma <br />City Bombing disaster.<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/take-them-by-the-hand/
