It
was late one Tuesday evening,
Before
a mother could sit down,
To
tell her only child about
The terror that hit downtown.
She
looked into the eyes of her son
God,
she loved him so,
She
felt her heart begin to break
And
the hurt begin to show.
She
gathered all her strength and courage,
as
her story she began to tell.
"Baby
don't cry, but I'm afraid daddy
Might
be under a building that fell.
"
The boy looked back at his mother,
His eyes made not one blink.
And
the mother's tears began to fall.
What
would her baby think?
You
see, his dad is a firefighter,
And
his hero from the day of his birth.
He
loved his dad more than anything else
That could ever inherit this earth.
The
mother's head began to drop,
Her
forehead resting on palm.
She
thought her son would be upset.
Instead,
he was very calm.
The
boy leaned over towards his mom,
And
put his hand upon her head.
In
her ear he began to whisper,
And
this is what he said:
"Mommy
please don't cry,
I
knew daddy wasn't coming home.
I
talked to him just a while ago,
But
it wasn't on the phone.
He
told me that he loved me,
And
he promised we'd meet again.
He
told of his new home,
And
the job he was to begin."
"God
is building an army,
And
there are many angels needed.
That,
is where daddy and the others went.
They
weren't all defeated."
It was then, the mother lifted her head.
The
tears streamed down her face.
And
she could feel her husband's presence,
As it filled her heart with grace.
It was then she knew her son was right.
He
was in God's great army now.
She also knew her son was safe,
That
he'd be kept from harm somehow.
So,
evil-doers of the world beware.
An
army is on the way.
Bolstered by new angels,
Who
left the towers that day..
Their
commander has never been beaten.
His
power has never been matched,
And
if evil thinks He was almighty before......
Well,
the surface has just been scratched!
