A Poem For My Friend

When I think of my friend,

 she is one I've not met.

Yet, through the net,

 a friend she is to me.

She's laughed at my tales

Regaled me with hers.

Loved her Photography,

so good as to take 

your breath away.

She cried for my hurts and

clapped for my awards.

I admired her convictions.

determination and soul.

 

Her family has become

dear to my heart.

Her daughter sings like

an angel, the world needs

to hear.

All of her children are

held very dear.

A battle she has been

waging against the evil C.

A warrior princess my

friend Kim will forever

be.

Would that I could lend

you strength, I would

gladly do it my dear.

For now our many prayers

are aimed at heaven as if

our thoughts were arrows

straight to God's heart.

Fight on, the good fight

my friend, my beautiful

Irish Warrior Princess

A Thousand Points of Light

Across the campus silence is
now what we hear.
Only yesterday they ran, they
hid in every corner.
Hearing dreadful sounds, turned
to stone, full of fear.
A lost child has come to maim
and kill, full of scorn.
Five hundred and seventy-one
dollars is all it took.
A Glock 9mm pistol was his.
His history hazy, his writings
in class a bit crazy.
Up til now no one noticed, or
is it a case of they were just
lazy?
But, really what is a teacher
to do? Check if the black writings
were purely angst written no more
than for a prank?
No, if truth be told, no one could
know, not you nor I no matter how
hard we tried.
Hero's were discovered on this awful
day, giving their lives so others
were saved.
A thousand points of light are held
in sway.
Amazing Grace was the only song for
this agonizing day.

God Bless Them All....
