I am a Canadian. The devastation that I have watched intently over the last few days in Washington at the Pentagon and in New York have made me think how precious life really is. I have cried every day and prayed every day for the people alive, missing or dead and also for all the families that grieve for the lost, missing or dead. No one should have to deal with the pain they are feeling. Many should be proud of the lives that they lead to have so many of us grieving with them. Many did not die alone and some died hero's. You do not suffer alone, Canada is here grieving too. We wait patiently for the same answers. Who and Why. I have known some Americans and some of my relatives are Americans, we are your friends from the North.

I'm BOBBIE LANGNER from ANDOVER MN.My heart goes out to all of you. God will bring you peace. Don't lose faith and don't lose hope. god is with us all.God bless you.

To the many kind people of the world who have sent messages of support. It is so very hard for me to convey how much I appreciate your concern
I have friends in NYC who are missing. Today I drove by the Pentagon to pay my respects- we live outside of Washington DC. Sometimes it seems as if we stand alone- but I now know that is not true. Thank you all so very much. Hold on to one another and cherish life, freedom and peace.

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO LET SOME PEOPLE KNOW MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THE CRISIS AMERICA IS IN. I WROTE A POEM WITH MY 9 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER ABOUT THE SITUATION. IT GOES LIKE THIS: GOD BLESS OUR CHILDREN.THE CHILDREN HERE AND THE CHILDREN EVERYWHERE. IN OUE TIME OF CRISIS AND PAIN THE TRUE VICTIMS ARE OUR CHILDREN. THEY ARE INNOCENT OF ALL ACCUSATIONS OF ALL WRONG DOINGS AND THEY SUFFER MUCH MORE THEN US. I PICTURE A LITTLE GIRL WHO WANTS TO GROW UP TO BE JUST LIKE HER MOMMY, BUTM SHE WILL NEVER REALLY GET TO KNOW HERE MOMMY NOW. SHE SITS AND CRIES ALONE WONDERING WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO HURT HER MOMMY?"IF SHE DID SOMETHING WRONG, SHES SORRY," AND IF SHE SAID SOMETHING WRONG, SHES SORRY."THE CHILDREN EVERYWHERE ASK "WHY" WHY WOULD YOU TAKE OUR MOMMY AND DADDYS AWAY FROM US?"THE VICTIMS, OUR CHILDREN, WILL SUFFER FOREVER OVER THIS AND MAYBE THEY WONT EVER UNDERSTAND THE TRUE REASON WHY THINGS ARE THE WAY THINGS ARE AND THATS WHY THE NATION TRULLY NEEDS TO UNITE NOW! IF NOT FOR OURSELVES LETS DO IT FOR OUR FUTURE, OUR MOST VONURABLE, OUR VICTIMS OF TODAY, "OUR CHILDREN" HOLD YOUR CHILDREN TIGHT AND MAY GOD BE EACH ONE OF US.

All though it has been said hundreds of times since these horrible attacks, my thoughts and prayers go out to the victims, their families and loved ones and to the brave heroes who are tirelessly trying to rescue anyone from that horrific scene. God bless you all!! There is not much else that can be said, nothing that would ease anyone's suffering or diminish anyone's anger. Only Justice will help with that. We will soon see these cowards brought to Justice!

The devastation and heartbreaking scenes that have played out over the last week have been hard to watch through my tears. I know that my tears are nothing in comparison to what the families and loved ones of the thousands of missing must feel everyday. Nothing that I can say can help ease the suffering that any of you are feeling so all I can do is pray... pray for you to find your missing loved ones, pray for the firemen and rescuers to give them continued strength and resolve to continue their efforts, and pray for the USA to bring them together to heal and help one another (as I have watched over the last few days) God Bless America!

When u read this board and many other boards on the net and listen to the media and talk to people in the offices and streets u get this impression that the majority of us want to love one another, to love our neigbours as we love ourselves ... how can there be so many of us that are so good hearted yet the evil ones make the biggest statements! What do the good people of the world need to do to rid our world of the devils amongst us ... my sincerest condolences to the people of America. Let's do whatever small thing we can do as individuals to rid our world of the bigotry, racism, hate, greed, stereotyping and all the other evil tendencies within us that bring forth the kind of babarism that we witnessed on Tuesday. May God fill us with His Love, Take Over Our Lives and Lead us to a new world of Good Will! Even those of us that maybe unwilling ...

Just to say that my thoughts and prayers are with everyone who has lost someone who they knew in this tradegy!! Lets all stick together to capture the evil that destroyed the lives of so many!! Be brave America, we are all together in this!!!
Love always

Shared from a poetic admirer of some poetic works by an author in Louisiana. The prayers of Louisiana poets of poetic arts surely are with you in this great time of loss. It is odd that it often takes such tragedies to obtain this nations attention so it can become refocused upon the true values and meaning of life and cause it to reexamine the many policies, laws and by laws we may have as a people enforced, passed or created in the past. May this too be a wake-up call to what true spiritual values are within this nation who considers itself "One Nation Under God." I share these poems for your thoughts and meditation.

"Our Guardian Angel"

Our guardian angel is watching o'er us
Watching from above,
One guardian angel who is just
Filled with God's great love,

He keeps us in God's care
And shows the love He hast,
While guarding o'er our footsteps here
'Til through heaven's door we'll pass!


"A Request"

Oh parents hold your little ones
Hold them meek and mild,
For you'll never know when it is
You'd lose your little child.

A precious gift of life from God
Is what these children are;
For you never know
When He'll cross this sod
And turn them into stars!
