Poem

Looks like the postings are trickling down.  I wanted to add something though.  I came across this poem and wanted to share it.  It’s by Chaim Stern.

 

It is a fearful thing

to love

 

A fearful thing

to love,

hope, dream:  to be –

 

to be

and oh! to lose.

 

A thing for fools, this,

and

a holy thing,

a holy thing

to love.

 

For

your life has lived in me,

your laugh once lifted me,

your word was gift to me.

 

To remember this

brings a painful joy.

 

‘Tis a human thing, love,

a holy thing,

to love

what death has touched.

 

 

I pray that Wynn’s family and all of us will be comforted speedily and in our day.

 

Renee Waghalter
