A Nation Wept
In Memory of Sept. 11th

A nation wept
The Mothers
The Fathers
The Children
The Unborn.
A nation wept
The tears of horror
The tears of loss
The tears of fear
The tears of unbelief.
A nation wept
In huddles
In aloneness
In solitude
In mass.
A nation wept
Moments of brokenness
Moments of insecurity
Moments of anger
Moments of togetherness.
A nation wept
Then bolstered
Then resolved
Then rebuilt
Then remembered.
A nation wept no more.
Very powerful poem and well said. Simple but well versed.
