I liked how you captured the essence of how from after the darkest moment there can be relief and means to find cleansing from the same natural source. There is a time and purpose for everything under the sun. Amen. Well done.

This is so graceful and lovingly shared MissMerri. It had me in tears, and I seem to be at a loss of words.

But I think he will know I bow my head with yours and offer up my love and strength to one I know as a dear friend.

MissMerri, lovely written blank verse of the love, hurt, and understanding empathy as you stand steadfast for his time of healing, when once again you can sing together. It was a good thing to read this while trying to wrap my head around the horrible tragedy that occurred in Conn. today. Thank you. xxCarrie

'Silenced Songs' is a touching message for a dear friend, but it is much more on this tragic day. You express so much of what everyone across America feels for the families who lost a child today. Thank you for your heart-touching words, MissM.

    Yes... I wrote this before I knew about this sad story, but heard of it soon afterward. As I was typing it to post, I thought of all the grieving parents and my heart breaks for all of them. It is indeed a sad, sad day for our nation, thinking of this huge loss, so senseless and unnecessary. Thanks for reading the poem. Brucie's memorial is Sunday night.
