Remembering….

The news re-broadcasted a flashback of events from September 11th 8 years ago. I started to turn the channel to a happier place but something made me stop and watch.

As the years go on, we tend to not think about what happened that day as most of us would rather be in that happier place, what made me stop and watch also made me remember. I forgot about people jumping out of the top of the Trade Center given the choice to burn alive or as I like to call it a Leap of Faith.

Leap of Faith
Oh God, how hard it is to understand,
How this tragedy came to stand.
Watching in horror as people jumped from that place,
Praying that it was a leap of faith.

No choice, but to let it go,
Feel God’s love as it flowed.
Hoping as they fell they are caught,
Praying for the peace they sought.

Our faith tells us it’s peace they found,
As they leapt, God’s love surround.
Their leap was just a few seconds in time’s sands,
Their soul an eternity in God’s hands..

Remember today by showing those in your life how much you care about them because life is oh, so short.
