Our Brothers Died Today

OUR BROTHERS DIED TODAY
The tenth anniversary of 9-ll is here,
And that horror is here to stay.
Because of a cowardly act of terrorism,
Our Brothers died today.
They worked and raised their families,
Going quietly on their way;
But because of this act of terrorism
Our Brothers died today.
We will never forget these honorable men,
Or their kind and generous ways;
Or the cowards who were the cause of,
Our Brothers dying this day.
When our Brothers stand before their Creator,
With their earthly bonds set free,
May it be their portion to hear from Him,
“Welcome Home, Take My Hand, Follow Me.”
Let us bow our heads in solemn prayer,
For our Brothers who have passed this way;
May God cradle them in His loving arms,
Our Brothers, who have died this day.
