One: An American Poem
September 11, 2001
As the soot and dirt and ash rained down,
We became one color.
As we carried each other down the stairs of the burning building,
We became one class.
As we lit candles of waiting and hope,
We became one generation.
As the firefighters and police officers fought their way into the inferno, We became one gender.
As we fell to our knees in prayer for strength,
We became one faith.
As we whispered or shouted words of encouragement,
We spoke one language.
As we gave our blood in lines a mile long,
We became one body.
As we mourned together the great loss,
We became one family.
As we cried tears of grief and loss,
We became one soul.
As we retell with pride of the sacrifice of heroes,
We become one people.
We are One color One class One generation One gender One faith One language One body One family One soul One people
We are The Power of One.
We are United.
We are America.

In all the articles that I have read about Sharon Carver I have learned that her beautiful smile never went unnoticed. Her loving efforts towards her neices and nephews were appreciated. She had just returned from a trip to Disney world with her family, a trip that I'm sure her family is glad they made together. Your death is not in vain. We will remember you for eternity. Rest in peace.
