Coping with the 9.11.01 Aftermath

Thru the Ashes

By Sue Angulo

Thru the darkness and the ash,
I feel their spirits soar.
Hundreds by hundreds coming,
followed by even more.

[Click on pictures to enlarge]

Open up the gates Lord.
Open them up wide.
The Americans are coming, Lord,
marching side by side.

There are mothers and there's fathers
There are daughters and there's sons.
They had so much left to do Lord.
Before their lives were done.
 

Open up the gates, Lord
Open them up wide.
The Americans are coming, Lord,
marching side by side.
 

Oh Lord, there are so many
that are coming thru the gate.
It was not their time, Lord.
They're here because of hate.

Open up the gates Lord
Open them up wide.
The Americans are coming, Lord,
marching side by side.
 

They come from out of the fire
and the ashes and the dark.
They're marching to the Light, Lord
On the earth they've made their mark.
 

So, Open up the gates Lord
Open them up wide.
The Americans are coming, Lord,
marching side by side.

 

In her own words...

...thank you so much for your kind words about my poem, "Thru The Ashes." I am honored that you put it on your wonderful site. Thru The Ashes came from my soul, I felt compelled to write it one morning in September. Ever since I first posted it in my newsgroup, it has taken on a life force of it's own. The page has over 11,000 visits. I have received hundreds and hundreds of emails about it from all over the world. My hope is that it can play a small part in starting the healing process for so many of us. Again, thank you.
