Land Of Fire & Ice

In the land of fire and ice
the shooter never thought
twice

Just ruthlessly tracked the
kids down
Making sure all were dead
as they hit the ground

Some tried desperately to
escape by jumping in the
water
That only fueled his desire
for more slaughter

One by one the young teens
silently fell
Surely God will punish this
monster..he deserves to be
forever in hell

Sorrow abounds in the land
of fire and ice...

Poem rom Joe...Written to My Daughters Friends

This is a poem Joe wrote to us after he came to NY when Sandy was in the hospital last year. It was very touching and sweet of him to take the time to write, especially since he was not a great typist: "year's ago i met a lady,a person of brightness.she alway's looked for the silver lineing.time's would be bad or worse,butshe would still smile like a candle on the darkess night.proud to stand with her.we have had our time's.good bad terrible and great.three did we raise,three that i am proud to call our's.our daugter while growing up,alway's had her friend's over.show up anytime,stay all the time,sleep over.they would drive me out of my mind.never knew who would be in the house.morning would be a trip,really steping over them,because they stayed up alnight watching t.v..my lady would only smile at my complaint's,who ate my lunch ,who's pant's are these,what happen too the cookie's,what do you mean i have to pick them up.drove me crazy.smile she would and a small laugh,my lady would say they are here,they are good what more could we ask. 20+year's have gone bye,while vist'ing our daughter suffer'ed heart failure.these pain in the ass,rotten,loud ,annoying,girl fiend's where there.ladie's of brightness they had become.long drive from picking me up at the airport,not a short trip,a hard hug and a tear,a small smile of hope.stood tall they did.helping,in every way.with them there i knew my daughter was in good hand's.the comfort they gave just by being there. thank you colleen and mary may you have children who have friend's like you. thank you"

My Love

My love, my hopes, my dreams
my inspiration...gone so suddenly.
We never know, how do you prepare
for that moment?
Never thought you would leave me
It was your time, you didn't have a choice.
Left with so many memories of you, I'd like
a do-over God if I could.
I'm like a ship without a rudder, a horse
without a rider, a balloon floating free.
Miss you more than words can say...
Have I told you that I love you today?
Yes, I have...forevermore....
