I was with you that morning as you kissed your families goodbye.
I was with you while you drove to work and analyzed the layout of your day.
I was with you while you boarded the plane, unknowing of what the hour would bring.
I was there when the worst was revealed.
I watched your reactions as the confusion became clear.
I stood by your side when you felt alone.
I held you close as you panicked and cried.
I heard your prayers and I listened to your hearts. 
Some spoke out while others still denied me.
I never left you.
I was there among the fire and the smoke.
I was there when you could not see me. 
I reached out my hand as you took your last breath.
I lifted you to safety and took away your fear and pain.
I was there that morning.
I never left you.
