To the Editor:

In Memory of 9/11:

A little boy sitting on a bench

Looking at the sky

A little angel watching

Saw the tear in his eye

I know you're wondering why

So many people had to die

I'm sad too, she said

As she begins to cry

I don't understand the hate

Down there below

Our Father brought your people

To heaven, you know

They are healthy, happy and

All those important things

And tonight, at our party

They will receive their wings

Our Father will be there for you

As He is everyday

Only now He will be sending

More strength your way

The little angel smiled

And began to sing

God bless America

Let Freedom Ring.
