My values now have changed
And I will do all that I can
To bring happiness and love
To all my fellow man

The trivial things don't matter
As we all now bear the scars
Of the tragedy that occured
To our neighbours from afar

We embrace you with our hearts
For we also feel your pain
Many times we questioned 'Why?'
As we quietly went insane

Such courage you have shown
Through so much turmoil and grief
As we all looked on in horror
We were in total disbelief

I now reach out my hand
For you to grasp with all your might
And together we'll get through this
As we follow our guiding light

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

(kiss on cheek) I extend my hand of friendship to you from overseas, dearest friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

I love the warm feeling this poem gives me, Sue...  Wouldn't it be nice if all of the races and ethnic groups would love each other?
