Guest guest Posted September 19, 2001 Report Share Posted September 19, 2001 Our Children Out of the instincts of love We led them to believe in The Easter Bunny, a Tooth Fairy Encouraged their thinking Of Birthdays as something they owned. We fed their hungry anticipations Of holidays and vacations Reinforced what they had been Taught at school of being So fortunate, richly blessed to have the right and the tools to become anyone In the world they want to be. But how How do they believe us now When we press our faces close to theirs To tell them they are safe When they have seen the horror Of what has interrupted their cartoons… heard the terror in the strange, new word terrorists That is suddenly everywhere now And like the sadness in their parents eyes Almost seems it will never go away. Our children, God Bless them, Until we are certain ourselves That they are truly safe … And we can smile and help them believe again That there are no monsters Under their beds. -- Best Regards, Casten <tcasten@...> National Air Traffic Controllers Association NATCA Communications Chairman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
