2002 Memorial - To Our Rescue Friends On 9/11 Poem by David Boyce

2002 Memorial - To Our Rescue Friends on 9/11

Standing there in the morning sun,
Three forty Bobbies there as one.
All very proud and left to enter,
The sacred ground of the World Trade Centre.

For on that day we all did pray,
For all lives lost a year that day.

But hope is there on nine eleven,
As we pray for those,
Who art in heaven.

For South Wales Police,
I was one of Seven,
To mourn the loss of nine eleven.

Many lost, as our greatest heroes
We mourn their loss
There at ground zero.

As heroes they died,
At the World Trade Centre.
Most knowing the risks,
As they did enter.

Many lives saved,
On that fateful day.
By our rescue friends,
For you we pray.

We stood there whilst they read their names,
For candles flicker ember flames.

For all lives lost,
We Will Remember.
On the eleventh day,
Every September.

God Bless You All!
