The Lady!
I wonder what She thought As She stood there, strong and tall.
She couldn't turn away, She was forced to watch it all.
Did She long to offer comfort As Her country bled?
With Her arm forever frozen High above Her head.
She could not shield Her eyes.
She could not hide Her face.
She just stared across the water Keeping Freedom's Place.
The smell of smoke and terror Somehow reduced Her size, So small within the harbor.
But still we recognized....
How dignified and beautiful, On a day so many died.
I wonder what She thought And I know She must have cried.
Bryant Gumbel recently interviewed Billy Graham's daughter, Anne Graham Lotz.
Gumbel: "Why didn't God stop this, or do something about this?"
Anne Graham Lotz: "For years we have told God we didn't want Him in our schools, we didn't want Him in our government, and we didn't want Him in our finances, and God was being a perfect gentleman in doing just what we asked Him to do. We need to make up our minds -- do we want God or do we not want Him?! We cannot just ask Him in when disaster strikes."
Bryant Gumbel was silent.
Always thanking and trusting God
