Dear One

As all of you probably know by now, Terri Schiavo is now dead.

The once vibrant, beautiful energetic woman was reduced to a lifeless body. Please pause today to think over the events of the past few weeks.

This is a time for reflection and meditation, not anger or bitterness. Those days will come soon enough.

A poem for terri

beautiful one.

exuberant, free and and vigorous in your desire for life.
we'll miss you, although we don't know you.

we were with you during every step,

not losing hope.

hope isn't lost because your life was rooted in Christ alone.
you were a exquisite flower whose blossom has faded.
as we think about you and the life you lived, may your memorial
inspire us all

to live, to act, to show compassion
