As the soot and dirt and ash rained down,
We became one color.
As
we carried each other down the stairs of the burning building,
We became one class.
As we lit candles
of waiting and hope,
We became one generation.
As
the firefighters and police officers fought their way into the inferno,
We became one gender.
As we fell to
our knees in prayer for strength,
We became one faith.
As
we whispered or shouted words of encouragement,
We spoke one language.
As we gave our blood in lines a mile long,
We became one body.
As we mourned
together the great loss,
We became one family.
As
we cried tears of grief and loss,
We became one soul.
As we retell with pride of the sacrifice of heros,
We become one people.

We are
One color
One class
One generation
One gender
One faith
One language
One body
One family
One soul
One people
We are United.
We are
The Power of One.
This candle was lit on the 11th of September, 2001.
Please pass it on.
