[hometext] => This poem is dedicated to all those people who took their own lives on 9/11.
[bodytext] => We jumpers jumped to a sure fate From that hell to heaven's gate And when the angels asked us why? We all gave the same stirring reply "I'd rather go by my own will As I fell I felt calm, soothed, and still Those last moments for me I'll never regret For how much peaceful could that place get than for me to leave it and be welcome here in heaven to never have to draw another tear I jumped for the better of my soul Instead of suffering like others, their deaths were cruel And as I fell one of you angels caught me I jumped for the better can't you see?"
