Wonderful poem, No title or author given Was sent to me by an online friend who lives in NJ.
Carole Beth

>As the soot and dirt and ash rained down,
>We became one color.
>As we carried each other down the stairs of the
>burning building,
>We became one class.
>As we lit candles of waiting and hope,
>We became one generation.
>As the firefighters and police officers fought their
>way into the inferno,
>We became one gender.
>As we fell to our knees in prayer for strength,
>We became one faith.
>As we whispered or shouted words of encouragement,
>We spoke one language.
>As we gave our blood in lines a mile long,
>We became one body.
>As we mourned together the great loss,
>We became one family.
>As we cried tears of grief and loss,
>We became one soul.
>As we retell with pride of the sacrifice of heroes,
>We become one people.
>
>We are
>One color

>Please pass it on to your friends & family so that it
>may shine all across America.
