Sunday, 11 September 2005 - Tears, hope

Dear God:

Today, I am thankful for tears for the lost that nourish my hope for the living.

For Whom The Bell Tolls
John Donne

No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manner of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.

For this blessing, I am grateful.

Amen.
