i am not a religious person. i do not attend a church. but i do pray for things to get better, or calmer, or easier. last fall when mom passed away, i took great comfort in choosing hymns for her service. i also really listened to what pastor D had said in his message. i believe that there is a place where we go when we die, and that place is much better than earth. our souls live on in the hearts and minds of those left behind. i take comfort in the following hymn and last night, i had a melt down and listened to them over and over until the tears stopped.

i miss my parents very much. there are times when i really need to speak with them. when there is something i just feel they would like to hear about. and i hope that they are proud of me.
make today GREAT~ poet.
