On Monday

On Monday we emailed jokes
On Tuesday we did not

On Monday we thought that we were secure
On Tuesday we learned better

On Monday we were talking about heroes as
being athletes
On Tuesday we relearned who our heroes are

On Monday we were irritated that our rebate
checks had not arrived
On Tuesday we gave money away to people we
had never met

On Monday there were people fighting against
praying in schools
On Tuesday you would have been hard pressed
to find a school where someone was not praying

On Monday people argued with their kids about
picking up their room
On Tuesday the same people could not get home
fast enough to hug their kids

On Monday people were upset that they had to
wait 6 minutes in a fast food drive through line
On Tuesday people didn't care about waiting
up to 6 hours to give blood for the dying

On Monday we waved our flags signifying our
cultural diversity
On Tuesday we waved only the American flag

On Monday there were people trying to separate
each other by race, sex, color and creed
On Tuesday they were all holding hands

On Monday we were men or women, black or white,
old or young, rich or poor, gay or straight,
Christian or non-Christian.
On Tuesday we were Americans

On Monday politicians argued about
budget surpluses
On Tuesday grief stricken they sang
'God Bless America'

On Monday the President was going to
Florida to read to children
On Tuesday he returned to Washington to
protect our children

On Monday we had families
On Tuesday we had orphans

On Monday people went to work as usual
On Tuesday they died

On Monday people were fighting the ten
commandments on government property
On Tuesday the same people all said
"God help us all' while thinking
'Thou shall not kill'

It is sadly ironic how it takes horrific
events to place things into
perspective, but it has.
The lessons learned on September 11th,
the things we have taken for granted,
the things that have been forgotten or
overlooked, hopefully will never
be forgotten again.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!
