With a whip-stitching thought,
we mend the garment,
of our torn lives together.
The fabric of our efforts,
woven from the thread of liberty,
Is not enough to dry the tears.
and the blanket the fears.
We apply the gauze
To quiet the flow
but our hearts still cry out,
From the pain we know.
Will it ever go???

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Sherry, this is so heartfelt and aching, sweet friend, sadly I feel these memories will always haunt our nation yet as Shakespeare says, "the robin shall restore amends" and I know if we reach out to one another again love can grow and we can make one step closer to harmony and justice for all! (wipes tears) God Bless You, sweet friend, my thoughts join yours this day, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sherry, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I told ya, I'd find ya!

It helps to have my name in lights, too! (giggle)

This is such a heartfelt hopeful prayer for healing, how could it not touch me? Proud to have been a small part of inspiration for this loving and profound wish for those who mourn. I thank you much.

a wonderful piece to the challenge, so happy you made sure I knew it was here!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
