That death may win and dreams subside and bile be emptied 'pon the earth. Let weeds grow in this solemn place , for this man held such little worth. Upon his grave, no marker set . Let time erase his memory. It's best that some men we forget, long dead in shadows, there he be . He preyed upon my precious friend when but a child, for many years and stole the innocence of youth. This man deserves none of your tears. He died and still, the secret kept. His loved ones gave a eulogy and praised the man they thought they knew.. His punishment is yet to be. The God of all will be the judge. I ask that He will help my friend, remove the darkness from her life, please bring her joy, help her mend. |

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Michael, this is so heartbreaking, I'm so sorry for your friend and I too wish for her healing and comfort! (big hugggssssss) Shame on him and others who hurt people like that, he deserves no tears but rather slaps across the face for every tear he made her cry, my heart goes out to her, God Bless You, she is so lucky to have a special compassionate person like you in her life, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Michael, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..."

This was deeply touching, a moving tribute to the promises of God that are always true! Yes, he will judge and repay. You are a true friend Auguste! I too pray your friend will find peace and restoration! |

If someone did that to my friend, I'd feel the same way that you do.  Well written, Michael, and I wish your friend well.   --Beth Howl at the stars, whisper when you're sleeping, I'll be there to hold you, I'll be there to stop the chills and all the weeping. |
