RESOLUTION
by
Kathi Flannery 10/6/01
I want to live until I die;
to laugh, rejoice, to feel
and think and cry;
and yes, to fly! -with purpose
and a destination-
to dream, to build, to plan with dedication;
to believe in love and life and peace and worth;
to share the wonders of the mind,
and of this earth;
to care for thousands that I'll never see
and feel that caring flowing back to me.
God spared my life, my living, with a reason,
and I had entered on a different season
of calm and peace and growth-
He wouldn't want that season ended now!
But neither would he want me to froget,
and I never will; nor recall without regret
that proud, bright skyline of September 10th!
I grieve for shattered lives, for heroes lost;
and rebuilding! -I cannot comprehend the cost.
But somehow I feel our country will survive,
and I pray that I'll keep this resolve alive;
I know sometimes I'll worry, fear, and cry-
but, oh, dear Lord,
I want to live until I die.
