I Remember

9/11.
And All Those Emotions and Thoughts from that Time.
But As I Try to Tell My Kids About that Time in History, I Want them to Know about it, But I Never Mention Names, or Countries, or Cultures or Religions or Wars, Because I Don't Want them to Hate or Be Afraid.
Those Things Come on Their Own in This World.
I DO Want them to Have
Hope,
and Compassion,
and a Sense of Safety
and an Innocence about Their World, Still.
Because Those are the Fleeting Things,
That Don't Stay.
