I doubt I was the only one who found myself parked in front of the TV on the 11th, transfixed by story after somber story.    One segment featured a photo montage set to Beyonce’s powerful song, “I Was Here.”  The firefighters in the towers, the passengers who fought the hijackers on the plane, and the thousands of others who give of themselves in service all leave a precious, indelible mark on our world.  

What kind of legacy will you leave behind?

I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time

Know there was something that meant something that I left behind

When I leave this world, I'll leave no regrets

Leave something to remember, so they won't forget

I was here...

I lived, I loved

I was here...

I did, I've done, everything that I wanted

And it was more than I thought it would be

I will leave my mark so everyone will know

I was here...

“I Was Here” by Beyonce, from the album “4”
