The day our world changed <br />On a Tuesday, you see <br />It made us more driven <br />And left us more free <br /> <br />It kept us more hopeful <br />And helped us to treasure <br />Intangibles, family <br />The things one can't measure <br /> <br />With skies now more golden <br />As clouds have ceased crying <br />Our hearts still remember <br />The sick and the dying <br /> <br />While candles are glowing <br />This holiday season <br />Our days have more purpose <br />And lives have more reason <br /> <br />We look toward the skies now <br />And see hope at last <br />We treasure each moment <br />Our present, our past <br /> <br />Our children, we hold them <br />So much tighter now <br />We turn toward the heavens <br />And then make a vow <br /> <br />To always hold dear to us <br />Things that are real <br />And life ever precious <br />No evil can steal <br /> <br />This season is different <br />It's better, you see <br />It gently reminds us <br />WE'LL ALWAYS BE FREE <br /> <br />(9/11 ten-year anniversary) <br />©2012 All Rights Reserved<br /><br />Holly Jamestone<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-ll-always-be-free/
