A decade after 9/11

War and Peace by Jeanne Marklin

Peace to all who died that day

Peace to all who lost family, friends, neighbors, co-workers and heroes that day

Peace to all who watched and felt helpless

Peace to all who felt anger and revenge, and have known no peace since 9/11

Peace to all who fought for the cause of peace, and have found no peace

Peace to our country and it's people

Peace to all the people of the world

May this anniversary move us toward the love and community we felt that day for one another

And away from everything that is not peace.
