[hometext] => DEDICATED TO MY FRIENDS AND COWORKERS LOST ON 9/11/01
[bodytext] => I'VE MET STRONGER MEN I'M SURE I JUST DON'T REMEMBER WHEN WITH BARRELED CHEST AND BIG STRONG ARMS TO CARRY OUR BROTHERS IN. I WISH MY SHOULDERS NOW WERE EVEN MORE WIDELY SPREAD SO I COULD HOLD THE GRIEF WE BEAR AND NOT WAVER FROM THE DREAD. I'VE SEEN YOUNG MEN WITH TEARS IN THEIR EYES, THEY STAND SO TALL YET BROKEN, AND WHEN WE HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE THE WORDS REMAIN UNSPOKEN. WE NEED TO FEEL THERE'S SOMETHING ON WHICH WE CAN RELY, AND IN OUR HOURS OF ANGUISH, WE LOOK UP TO THE SKY AND THROUGH THE TEARS WE SHED THE WONDERS FROM ABOVE, REMIND US THAT WE'RE HERE TO SHOW UNDYING LOVE. SOMETIMES I THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT I'VE BEEN TRULY BLESSED FOR I'VE BEEN CALLED ONE OF THE MEN AN HONOR,NOTHING LESS. I'VE STOOD IN THE COMPANY OF GREATNESS,HEARD STORIES OF CHILDREN AND WIVES. ALL FROM ORDINARY MEN,WHO WERE JUST TRYING TO LIVE THEIR LIVES, NOW I HEAR WORDS LIKE HERO AND IT TOUCHES ME WITHIN FOR I'VE BROKEN BREAD WITH HEROES BUT TO ME THEY ARE THE MEN. I KNOW THERE'LL COME A TIME WHEN WE ALL WILL MEET AGAIN GOD'S LIGHT WILL SHINE AROUND US BUT WE MUST WAIT TILL THEN NOW WE SAY GOODBYE TO OUR POET,PRANKSTER,TEACHER AND FRIEND TO ALL OF THOSE WE HOLD DEAR IN OUR HEARTS; WE SAY GOODBYE TO "THE MEN."

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
