  • 9/11 UPLIFT STRING BY ANTHONY CHARLES BLAKE

    September 11, 2001 is a reminder for me because I was supposed to work for Marsh & McLennan, Inc. on the 96th Floor in World Trade Center Tower One, but the company never called me. I am blessed that I wasn’t called. My name could have been written in the memorial. Yet, I feel sorrow for all those that did lose their lives and the families left behind without their love ones. I loss some friends in 9/11. God is good as I am covered under his Mercy and Grace.

     

    The hour and that precise minute

    Precision at every turn

    Shows how the world can turn upside down

    Lives that were never found

    Devastation and ash having the final sound

    We honor the loss being their story, and now they are in glory

    It also states never take life for granted

    We don’t know what will take place in our lives

    Today and Tomorrow is not promised to any of us

    Life is precious and time continues to revolve

    But are keeping in touch with living love ones on a Daily basis?

    Having that I don’t care is not the right vibe to keep

    God’s sake

    The Almighty being the key

    Being the amaze who deserves all the praise

    You are still living, and lift those hands in God’s Grace and Mercy

    Still among

    Today is the day to say Thank You

    Today being your reminder to remember

    Today is your daily to always pray

    Relish the air and seeing the skies as if for the first time

    Take a moment to just recognize

    Goodness comes from Heaven to your heart

    The Holy One makes the determination from the start

    Live and keep living

    You had been given the spiritual lift

    Don’t go astray being a drift

    Living with every breathing second is considered being Heaven’s gift

    Appreciate!
