"We live in a broken world. Inside us there beats a heart that has been broken more times than we care to remember. But there will always be someone to help us pick up the shattered pieces and begin the process of repair. Sometimes with glue, sometimes with love, sometimes with miracles. Always with God."

"[If the] society in which you live makes it possible to be rich, there is a legitimate social claim on every individual's material wealth. In this way, taxes are not theft but the cost of membership in a society that makes being rich a possibility." Sean Gonsalves

"I AM a CHILD of GOD"
Father God, in the Holy Precious Name of Jesus, I come to You with all of my thoughts, feelings, emotions & prayer. For only You hear everything that we have to say and not say, for only You know our every thought, for only You looked death in the eyes and said, "get behind Me". I thank You Lord for sending a Son, a Son over all that exist, a Son that has given us eternal life.Thank You Jesus...Amen : )
Funeral Blues
W.H. Auden
One of my favorite funeral poems. It's not uplifting like the poem above but instead conveys the loss and anguish of those still living.
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.".
