Hello school librarians and my favorite Middle Eastern friend, et al . . . I apologize for not finding this in time to submit to the person looking for a memorial poem ...perhaps it will be handy for others in the future . . . * * * * * ***Life Is Eternal*** I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the deep blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength, and I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where sea and sky come down to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says: "There. She's gone." Gone where? Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of destination. Her diminished size is in me, not in her; and just at the moment when someone at my side says, "There. She's gone." there are other eyes watching her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: "There! She comes!" ***Author Unknown*** * * * * * Aloha y'all ... Earl J. "Just an old Maui boy with a poor sense of direction ... Fayetteville, NC ... working his way back home; one state at a time!" www.moniz.org / earlj@moniz.org Lost Librarian . . . <sigh> =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-= All postings to LM_NET are protected under copyright law.
