For Cody

Thursday, September 16, 2010

As you may know already, we lost a boy from the valley yesterday. His

name was Cody. He was a junior. The whole valley was supporting him while

he battled in the hospital, however, he passed on. I thought a shot of the river

in winter - beauty in the valley - would be suitable. Rest in peace, Cody. This is

for you.

50 Word Story:

(Actually, there is no story tonight. Just one of my favorite poems

by Mary Elizabeth Frye.)

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush,

I am the swift uplifting rush

of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the soft star that shines at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.

I am not there.

I did not die.
