God's Great Army

It was late one Tuesday evening, before a mother could sit down, 
To tell her only child about the terror that hit downtown. 
She looked into the eyes of her son, she loved him so, 
She felt her heart begin to break and the hurt begin to show. 
She gathered all her strength and courage, as her story she began
to tell. "Baby don't cry, but I'm afraid daddy might be under a
building that fell." The boy looked back at his mother, 
His eyes made not one blink. And the mother's tears began to fall. 
What would her baby think? You see, his dad is a firefighter, 
And his hero from the day of his birth. He loved his dad more than
anything else That could ever inherit this earth. 
The mother's head began to drop, Her forehead resting on palm. 
She thought her son would be upset. Instead, he was very calm. 
The boy leaned over towards his mom, And put his hand upon her 
head. In her ear he began to whisper, And this is what he said: 
"Mommy please don't cry, I knew daddy wasn't coming home. I talked
to him just a while ago, But it wasn't on the phone. He told me 
that he loved me, And he promised we'd meet again. He told of his 
new home, And the job he was to begin." "God is building an army, 
And there are many angels needed. That, is where daddy and the 
others went. They weren't all defeated." It was then, the mother 
lifted her head. The tears streamed down her face. She could feel
her husband's presence, As it filled her heart with grace. It was
then she knew her son was right. He was in God's great army now.
She also knew her son was safe and that he'd be kept from harm 
somehow. So, evildoers of the world beware. An army is on the way. 
Bolstered by new angels, Who left the towers that day.. Their 
commander has never been beaten. His power has never been matched, 
And if evil thinks He was almighty before
.....Well, the surface has just been scratched.....
