Autumn on The East Coast

This year as the East Coast is being effected by the recent events in New York and Washington D.C.. We are also being effected by our local troops being shipped overseas. My second oldest son Sam is on standby for the United States Army reserves. He is set to leave his new wife and child to go and defend our country's freedom. I am so proud of him at the same time he is my son and like the rest of you, I am scared for him.

I found this poem in my files. I found it the first time when I had just lost a close family member. It is for the friends and families of those that had people they lost on September 11, 2001.

"A Letter From Heaven"

To My Loved Ones,

Don't stand at my grave and weep, I am not there I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on the snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain; I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning rush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry.

I am not there; I did not die.
