Than we got a phone call The little boys are the sons of a beloved teacher at my childrens school. The school community is in shock and our thoughts are with the family.
A little star stopped shining last night
the gloomy darkness weighs heavenly
upon a a family, listening to the
screaming absence of a little voice
Let our thoughts be with them
Let our love bandage their bleeding hearts
Let the moon call upon all stars
to bundle their lights in memory of
Let our love bandage their bleeding hearts
Let the moon call upon all stars
to bundle their lights in memory of
a little star that stopped shining last night
Oh dear! Simply too awful for words. I am so sorry.
ReplyDeleteO help! So difficult to express the right words for such a tragic moment! All I can think of is keep together! Find strength in togetherness!
ReplyDeleteNamaste!
It's almost too unbearable to imagine, Marja.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for everyone touched by this tragedy, especially for the boys, and their family.
Let's pray for their souls, and for some little comfort for their families.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about this sad, sad occurrence in such a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all you do to add beauty and understanding to our world.
Your friend,
Suzan
Thats shocking marja!

:(
Kia ora Marja,
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to all those people, including the young boy in the car whom made a stupid studid decision that has changed his life and so many lives forever. As the parent of a teen ager who doesn't quite fit in I spend every weekend worrying about his safety, and thanking God he doesn't drive. We forget these kids can also hurt others. And as the parent of a little boy as well my heart aches for the loss these people have to deal with. I want to go hug both my boys and just hold them close. Kia kaha Marja, to you and especially to this family.
Aroha,
Robb
Oh dear God, the grief! I am so sorry. God bless and shelter them all.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sad post Marja.
ReplyDeleteA little star definitely stopped shining last night.
The school community will certainly need to rally behind and be there for that teacher.

Thanks all It is certainly the worst nightmare of a parent. I went to the school today and lots of students parents and teachers came along to leave behind wishes
ReplyDeleteand flowers. The parents don't leave the side of their 6 year old
who's condition is stable but is stil in a bad condition.
Robb yes I agree with you. The family of the teenager is equally devastated. Young people stil have to learn so much and in this case there is a very high price to pay
Too tragic to bear thinking about. Linwood Ave was the scene of a horrible car accident for me, which almost killed me.
ReplyDeleteHi Marja! It's a truly sad story...
ReplyDeleteSorry for the absence, but my computer broke down and I’ll be waiting a month for it to be fixed… ;-( Anyhow, I left you a post on the suburbs of Ephesus for you to enjoy. Have a great week!!
What a sad story and what a shock for the school community. Your poem is so tender.
