Manhattan

Manhattan on Sept 11, 2002 - Acrostic September

Manhattan
in
SEPTEMBER

Sunlight smiling from deep inside
Each avenue and street,
Profound sorrow versus grace
To highlight the glimmering hope,
Erasing traces of destruction,
Manhattan, my city, proud, tall, rebuilt,
Beyond vengeance and cruelty,
Every second getting loftier, while
Remembering its loved ones in God’s arms.
