This
poem below is written by an anonymous person and it has a heart felt
impact on people through out the internet.
You say you will never
forget where
you were when you heard the news
On September 11, 2001. Neither will I.
I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled
room with a man who called his
wife to say "Good-bye".
I held his fingers steady as he dialed.
I gave him the peace to say,
"Honey, I am not going to make it,
but it is OK... I am ready to go."
I was with his wife when he called as
she fed breakfast to their children.
I held her up as she tried to understand
his words and as she realized he really
wasn't coming home that night.
I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor
when a woman cried out to Me for help,
for the very first time in her life.
"I have been knocking on the door of your
heart for 50 years!" I said.
"Of course I will show you the way home
- only believe in Me now."
I was at the base of the building with
the Priest ministering to the injured
and devastated souls. I took him home to
tend to his Flock in Heaven.
He heard my voice and answered.
I was on all four of those planes,
in every seat, with every prayer.
I was with the crew as they were overtaken.
I was in the very hearts of the believers
there, comforting and assuring them that
their faith has saved them.
I was in Texas, Kansas, London...
I was everywhere.
I was standing next to you when you
heard the terrible news.
Did you sense Me?
I want you to know that I saw every face.
I knew every name - though not all know Me.
Some met Me for the first time on the 86th floor.
Some sought Me with their very last breath.
Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through
the smoke and flames;
"Come to Me. this way ...
take my hand."
Some had never heard my voice before.
And a few chose, for the final time,
to ignore Me.
But, I was there.
I did not place you in the Tower that day.
You may not know why, but I do.
However, if you were there in that
explosive moment in time,
would you have reached for Me?
September 11, 2001 was not the end
of the journey for you.
But someday your journey will end.
And I will be there for you as well.
Seek Me now while I may be found.
Then, at any moment, you know you
are "ready to go"
...I will be in the stairwell
of your final moments.
Love,
God
