My heart goes out to the people in New York..


..and I pray for the arms of the angels to hold the survivors, the families and the town. And for the victims,I pray they didn't suffer.
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

I was sitting here yesterday and it came on television. *sigh*....I have no words. Everytime one of these shootings happen I think it c.a.n.'t. happen again. And it always does. What is happening to people. Why do they choose to do this to others. And then to shoot themselves? The cowardice of it all. I think of living in these times as Dickens did...It was the best of times; it was the worse of times. :(
