I told you that I was born to fly.
You said "Let me be your wings."

I told you that I'm broken inside.
You said "Come to me for healing."

I told you that my walls are built too high.
You said "Let me climb over, please."

I told you that I'm lost and I cry.
You said "Let me dry your tears and guide you from suffering."

I told you that I hate being surprised.
You said "Let me prove my love won't change for anything."

I told you that I need you in my life.
You said "Let me be your everything."

I told you that I love you.
You said "Together and forever in love,
let us be."

The stars said " I love you" and moon said "Me too"
And Jupiter said "Whoever does not love is only a fool."

The sun said "Be bright", the earth said "Be bold"
And Venus nodded, saying  "Find yourself somebody to hold."

Mars circled a little closer and said "Do not waver"
So Uranus smiled gently and said "Don't let others see you quaver."

Neptune told you "There's so much to see"
And Mercury said "It does not take much to know you are free."

So Pluto called out, saying "There's much more to know!"
The universe agreed, and said "There's more time to grow."

The Milky Way murmured "Keep your love at your core"
And I looked up and said "I will always love you more."

It was 15 years ago today
September 11, 2001 being the day
World Trade Towers had two uninvited guest
It was devastation terrorist being their request
Total lives all caught off guard
Commotion into confusion
Heritage becoming a legacy
The everlasting thought, “Let us never forget”
Yet the emptiness having plenty of regret
Sunny skies with questionable hearts
Souls that were risen up
Today being always reflect
Remembering the moments
Reflecting on the seconds
The aftermath being a chapter of ******
Souls of enduring love in always be encouraged
It’s a new day with the warmth of sunshine
Determination has built a new world trade
The sun still shines, and there is no fade
Soul’s look down
The living has eyes in looking up
A missing heart in knowing where the tears fall
Not a day goes by I hear the fallen call
But it is inspiration for all
My own name could have been read from the fallen list
No time to even give that last time a final kiss
Yet live we must and having Faith in trust
Rise and stand
Observe Heaven’s watch
External with deep thoughts in remembering
Our tomorrow has made us wise
Rise up, rise up and continue to rise up my children
You have living to do, but don’t ever give up.

Knelt not like candles
lit for celebration but
driven like needles
into pine by
hammer.

Seems we've wandered from this path
Weaving to the right and to the left
Do you too wonder what's up with that
Knee deep in the mire and muck

Can't see the forest for the trees
Hatred in the falling leaves
Blowing ever now in the breeze
Let's start by putting our faith in love

It keeps us here and holds us tight
Hanging on for dear life
Look around what else can you find
In which to put your trust

The great divide is not too deep
The hill to climb is not too steep
With open hearts we all will see
By putting our faith in love

Have we all but forgotten
In Denmark something's rotten
With years spent at the bottom
Searching for the top

Marching to a different beat
Is a great need on city streets
Change the temp from rising heat
By putting our faith in love
