As the soot and dirt
and ash rained down - we became one
color.
As we carried each
other down the stairs of the burning building - we became one class.
As we lit candles of
waiting and hope - we became one
generation.
As the firefighters &
police officers fought their way in the inferno -
we became one gender.
As we fell to our knees
in prayer for strength -
we became
one faith.
As we whispered or
shouted words of encouragement -
we
spoke one language.
As we gave our blood in
lines a mile long - we became one
body.
As we mourned together
the great loss - we became one
family.
As we cried tears of
grief and loss - we became one
soul.
As we retell with pride
of the sacrifice of heroes -
we
become one people.
We are -
one color, one class, one generation, one gender,
one faith, one language, one body, one family, one soul, one
people...
We are The Power of ONE. We are United. We are
America!!!
