Where
Were You?
I was
asleep having pleasant dreams.
Where
were you?
Did you
know your life would be changed forever...or so it seems?
I was
eating a meal.
Where
were you?
Did you
know that we'd received a blow that would never heal?
I was
taking my kids to school.
Where
were you?
Did you
know that terrorists were breaking every known rule?
I was
busy trying to get ahead.
Where
were you?
Did your
heart break because you were in someone else's bed?
I was
kneeling down to pray.
Where
were you?
Did you
regret not knowing the Lord before that day?
I was
praying that many would be saved.
Where
were you?
Did you
know that the timid and shy would on that day be very brave?
I was
glued to the TV.
Where
were you?
Did you
selfishly pray, Thank God it was them and not me?
I am remembering exactly where I was that morning.
Where were you?
Did you foresee the devastation that caused this endless
mourning?
I am broken hearted that anyone would be so cruel..
Where are you?
Do you know a mosque may be built so near, the fires of hatred
it will fuel?
Where Are you?
