We remember...the American Embassy, here in Ottawa, took photos of all the flowers left on 9/11 & days following. They enlarged them & hung them on the fence surrounding the Embassy as a thank you to the Canadian people.

I am posting this a couple of days early as it is a very busy weekend for me.

 

I Am

I am your brother, your sister, your neighbor, your friend

And the spirit rising across this great land

I am the heroes emerging, with arms strong and brave

And the tears that fall on each innocent grave

 

I am the churches still standing with doors open wide

And the stranger who draws you close to his side

I am the hue and the cry of a nation in pain

And the strength to rise and be noble again

 

I am the courage that wakens to face life anew

And gives comfort in glimpsing the red, white and blue

I am your fathers who fought for the freedom you love

And the eagle that soars on the wings of a dove

 

I am the statue who holds freedom's torch to the sky

And mothers who hold children close while they cry

I am the hand reaching out to help those in need

And a people who live up to democracy's creed

 

I am the reason, the season, the hope and the light

The beginning, the ending, the might and the right

I AM what brings you to bended knees

Not the enemy, who tries with atrocities
