IN A TIME
 

In a time of many questions,
in a time of remaining sane,
in a time of being a witness,
preparing for what may remain.

In a time of great numbness,
in a time of prayer and grief,
in a time of questioning so much,
in a time of needing belief.

In a time of knowing so real,
how quickly it all can end,
in a time of knowing reality hurts,
and all the love we can send.

In a time of coming together,
with love, hearts and hands,
in a time of sharing emotions,
feeling at one, with all in our land.

In a time of being American,
feeling the joy and the pride,
in looking at what has been,
and feeling WHOLE inside.

In a time of preparation,
for the war that lies ahead,
as each moment ticks away,
as they still sort out the dead.

In a time of discovery,
in a time of coming to terms,
in a time of great confusion,
as a student of life learns.

In a time of priority,
we each may choose our way,
time seems to sense our mood,
it shows in all that we can say.

In a time of living our days,
not knowing what tomorrow will bring,
being so lost in today,
trying to find solace in something.

In a time of needing people,
in a time we need belief and trust,
in a time when all is on edge,
in a time, when touching is a MUST.

In a time when some feel anger,
in a time when some feel pain,
in a time when some feel loss,
it is time to live, and smile again.

In a time we need information,
about which way to go,
in a time to make discovery,
about all we did not know.
