Description: 2001-Oil pastels on the slate top of an "old fashioned" child's desktop. (12.5"x18.5")
Pieces of a child's teddy bear, doll, and shoe represent the chaos and destruction caused by 9-11 in the lives of children. The poem below is also enclosed, written on the paper inside.
The Storm
"A child cries,
A mother awakens,
Disturbed by the storm in the night.
An innocent life ends,
A mother cries,
As another storm blocks out the morning light.
A child is carried away,
A mother prays,
And tears of angels are heard.
But as our country cries,
For those who died,
We hear tears of pride.
For together we stand,
To heal each other,
For we will never hide." mlw
