We visited the national 911 Memorial in late June 2012, and the experience moved me in a very special way. The result is my poem, Forever Upright and Skyward. It is my sincerest hope that this work will, in some way, bring some form of comfort to the friends and family members of those innocent persons who were lost during the 1993 and 9/11 terrorist attacks. I also hope that this work will reflect the passion and resolve that enable each of us to recover from life's pitfalls and resume our journey toward fulfillment and happiness.
