In Memoriam...for the People of Newtown, CT
In Memoriam… Heart to heart In anguish reaches Helpless hands clasp Firm in prayer and Yet stretch out to Take another’s trembling Hand in solidarity and love Never more alike, never More united than when We stand in shock and grief Bewildered by those things For which there is no answer Surrounded only by questions For which no solution will Be found in this life Tears running down my cheeks Blend with those on yours- And hers and his and theirs Forming a r iver of mourning- Yet e ven in the midst of all this Grief, we are borne along On this current of sorrow Shared, compassion’s life raft Bearing us along together… Today, tomorrow, to eternity And so, in love, we remember…
