Dedicated to Daniel Pearl,his Wife and unborn baby Just tuned in to a tv show hoping something would cheer me so Instead a special report came full of bad news, always the same. They say the journalist is dead I guess I knew it in my head But still I could not help but cry and ask again, the question WHY?? This man was doing nothing wrong just seeking truth, as all along And now a wife is left to grieve, and baby who will never see. Though I did not know you at all I'm sorry Daniel,for your fall. and pray that you find truth at last As on to heaven, you have passed. |

Sad to read the news today This world is getting strange day by day Where once was love and laughter are now sad news one day after another However so, I loved you piece May your world bring forever peace The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Sandra, your poem was the first I had heard this news. This is terrible. It is a very sad day when we here at Passions have yet another reason to post unhappy reports. Perhaps one day things will be better and safer and....yes happier...somewhere in time. ~Hugs, Nancy~ ~Love, like magic, depends on believing.~ |

I heard the news in much the same way and as you said, though I knew it already in my head, I'd really hoped it would end differently. You've got the heart to write this, Sandra. Thank you. |

catalinamoon - I also heard the news about this. Very sad, and no need for this wrong. I don't want to continue the reply, as I might say something not quite right about this, so I'll stop... BC |

I agree, Sandra. We look for sense in the senselessness of war and violence and, of course, we don't find it. As always, the innocents suffer....  |

Sorry to hear this bad news...add this country to the list of unsafe places for American journalist or tourists... A Philippine friend at work usually visits his home country about once a year but he has delayed his visits because of all the unrest in that country...when I went to Germany some years ago as a member of the Air Force Reserve they wouldn't give us permission to travel to Paris because of unsafe conditions...instead we traveled to Amsterdam which at that time was considered safe....the world is becoming more dangerous and Americans need to use wisdom while traveling...James |

Sadly, freedom sometimes carries a very high price...and he was doing just that...trying to ensure we had our journalistic freedom. Great courage and sacrifice...Thank you Sandra, for saying what we all need to say. |

It is heartbreaking and barbaric what happened to this young, innocent man. And how very, very sad for his wife and unborn baby son. May God grant them peace and some sense of understanding. Thank you for writing this tribute. Marti " My wrinkles are badges of courage and reveal that I am a Mother." |

Catalina, You wrote this very well, and I'm glad you posted it. I'm sorry for all the innocents who get caught up in the evils of this world. It's senseless, and that makes it even worse. Nan |

Sandra, I did not read this until now, after posting my goodbye to Daniel. It really is tragic, and I'm not sure I can absorb anymore news reports this week. Hugs to you for a tender write. |
