Growing up in New Jersey I'd always had a view of the New York skyline, I'd watched it change over the years. I watch new buildings go up. Even the twin towers. Never in a million years could I imagine what the skyline view would be with out them.

I live in Topeka, Kansas and these are my thoughts from the events on that day.

I can't imagine.....

I wasn't there, and I can't imagine,
How it felt to be on, or watch that plane hit the Tower.
Or even on those designated floors.

I wasn't there and I can't imagine,
what it was like to chaotically
Run for the doors.

I wasn't there to help in the rescue attempts
All I could do was pray for safety
or those trying to make it out.

I wasn't there to hold hands and wipe tears,
Of the devastated and hurting.
All I could give were hugs and wonder
How many souls Heaven was about count.

I wasn't there and I can't imagine,
the grief the world suffered.
All I could do was whisper sobs
Of faith and hope.

I wasn't there and I can't imagine,
What it was like to go home to an empty house
Where a family once was.
All I could do is ask for strength to cope.

These are of the Day's of Remembrance,
The days we should reflect
The days we should offer our prayers for those that went on.
Offer our thanks for those that made it through.

Lord we thank you for this day,
Like we do everyday,
Thank you for your Grace and Mercy
Thank you for your Peace
Thank you for the Honor of our Heroes
Thank you GOD, This is all we can do.

I would like to thank FEMA for the great pictures. It reminds us that freedom comes with a terrible price,but a price that makes America a great nation and a nation that shows other countries how strong we are. I pray everyday that nothing like this terrible act of terror ever happens again on American soil. We will never forget the innocent people that lost their lives and pray for the families and the loved ones who has to go on living their life without their love ones. May God be with them all and God bless this great nation!

Mere words can not express my depth of feelings toward the brave people who were directly affected by the events that happened almost a year ago. You have shown what it truly means to be an American. If I could take just a small amount of your pain and grief I would. Just know that we all cry and, at times, laugh with you. For I know in this year there have come times when there has been joy for many of you. My children will proudly wear red, white, and blue tomorrow. My daughter, who is now 7, feared wearing her American flag T-shirt a year ago because she was afraid someone would come and hurt her. Now she wears it with pride. My 5 year old son wanted to know why. It is hard to explain to a child why people do the things they do. But one thing I do know you have helped show my children the true meaning of courage. Thank you and GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU!!!!!
