In memory of the man captured in one of the most memorable pictures from 9/11 Taking flight like an eagle Home bound to Heaven Every fear inside of me calm at last in knowing my fate Fear not for my soul has made its choice Accept whatever may come Long past doubt Long waited to embrace the truth beyond this worldly plane I am no longer afraid Now as I descend to hopefully rise back up and see His holy face God willing oh yes May I be forgiven if in taking this way out I was in any way wrong All I wanted was to escape a slow and horrible death No, I won't be angry or resentful I will accept Whatever judgement Goodness and mercy hands down upon me Today The Falling Man 2018 Ramona Thompson
