*** BELIVE IN ANGELS ***
Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. So, one day she asked God, " they tell me you are sending me to Earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?" God replied, " Among the many angels, I have chosen one for you. She will be waiting for you and take care of you". "But tell me, here in Heaven, I don't do anything but sing and smile, that's enough for me to be happy." He said, " Your angel will sing and smile for you everyday. " And you will feel your angels love and be happy." " And how am I going to understand when people talk to me, if I don't know the language that men talk?" " Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words youu will ever hear, and with much patience and care will teach you how to speak." " I've heard that on Earth there are bad people, who will protect me?" " your angel will defend you even if it means risking it's own life." At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could already be heard, and the child softly asked " oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name." God silenced all fear when he said " Your angel's name is of no importance. You will simply call her Mommy.

ONE... A TIMELY POEM
As the soot and dirt and ash rained down,
We became one color.
As we carried each other down the stairs of
the burning building We became one class.
As we lit candles of waiting and hope,
We became one generation.
As the firefighters and police officers fought
their way into the inferno, We became one gender.
As we fell to our knees in prayer for strength,
We became one faith.
As we whispered or shouted words of encouragement,
We spoke one language.
As we gave our blood in lines a mile long,
We became one body.
As we mourned together the great loss,
We became one family.
As we cried tears of grief and loss,
We became one soul.
As we retell with pride of the sacrifice of heroes,
We become one people.

`Rainbow of colors`
Rainbow of colors after the storm
Bright and bold as can be,
different colors like a kaleidocope as far
as the eye can see.
The beauty of this amazing thing
after the sun comes out,
And after the rain.
Beauty God has created so breathtaking
beyond compare.
God gives us such gracious gifts,
And some of us take for granted.
And little do we care.
Stop and take in the little things
as well as the bigger ones
God gives the beauty
For all to see!
