What I feel in my heart...

I want to share again a poem I wrote last year on 9/11.  Time has passed and it seams nothing has changed.  If they would just bring our troops home then maybe we can start to mend fences that we have broken.  

What I feel in my Heart

I see what I see every day,

All kinds of people acting different ways.

They say we are not for the Red, White and Blue,

It's all because we don't think like you.

 

I hear in the background the whispers of others,

They think we are doing good for all our brothers.

I fear the hate that they breed,

in my children's future they will bleed.

 

What happened to the peaceful souls?

 Have we forgotten how peace grows?

It's not with the killing of other humans,

But with love all around, looming.

 

They come and take what is ours away,

 And they say it is all OK.

Our jobs, our health care, our freedom are going

While we sit in Iraq and do more killing.

 

They fight the terror that happened this day

But I do not see it their way.

It is not the ones we kill in this war

it is others that will come back and give us more.

 

I feel in my heart that we will see the light

Just a question of doing wrong from right.

We all are humans, we all live here together

Just let your love shine and we will be here forever.
