Lost Seekers

Another black day in our land;
Our hearts are filled with grief.
There is only one place to turn
To find needed relief.
Dear God, please meet them at Your gates.
They dared to reach so high.
Is mankind growing much too bold;
Are we not meant to fly?

Our president has said it well.
"We didn't see them land,
We know they have gone on to home."
Someday we'll understand.
You gave us need and ambition
In our short lives to find
The key to all the mysteries
Created by your Mind.

Please bless our earnest endeavors
To do the best we know
To get to where we are going
Where You would have us go.
We ask protection for the ones
Who carry out the plan
That You have firmly planted in
Resourceful mind of man.

Our nation is in deep mourning
Our hearts are full of pride,
For each of those brave pioneers
Who dared to reach and died.

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Joyce, I too just heard the news today and was saddened to hear of the Columbia crash, as I send hugs out to the families of these seven men and know now they will always be safe in space with Him! (sad sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, now a moment of silence to think of them, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Joyce, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Thank you, thank you.  I pray the families of those brave men and women who died so publicly, will have the faith and knowledge that they will meet again. Joyce

Joyce,

A very heartfelt prayer and tribute to those seven men and women who had their lives suddenly taken away while achieving perhaps their lifetime long goal and adventure in space and for science.  I too join our President's condolences for those who did not make it back to earth, but who we pray will each make it Home. Again, a very nice tribute and prayer for those who lost their lives today.  GOD bless.

-Bob

Dear Joyce:  A wonderful poem and tribute to those we lost today.  What heart-breaking news it was!  I have been thinking too of all the families and friends who had gathered to welcome them back.  I'm sure they were glad to be together and hope it was some comfort to them.

that very nice of you Joyce. I was still sleeping when all that happen. It was a tradgic thing, and hope nothing worse will ever happen, or I hope the US won't be attacking Iraq.

Maybe I am not praying...but I know...
You are always listening...to my soul...

Yes Betty Lou, They were expecting a wonderful reunion and then this tragedy.  My heart breaks for them.  And I just heard there was another avalanche today.  At the same place.  How horrible. We are having our goodby for Craig tomorrow. Love, Joyce

Joyce~ A touching tribute too those we lost.

They were chosen by God above
Seven left this world and one's they love

We know not why
Now their loved one's cry

With wings of angels they now fly
The world now mourns as we say goodbye

It amazes me that no matter what the 'occasion' you can find exactly the right words. It is indeed a great gift that you have and brings comfort in times of need.
