For the shattered spirits....

the poor ....

the cold....

the dearly departed...
and those hanging on....

for those who weep

and those who can't fathom

I promise not to forget.
The ones in the midst are facing a test,
but we are facing a test too...
Watching their suffering and their pain
what will we do?
Look away? Watch? Do?
As the famous cliche states:
"To whom much is given, much is expected"
One week later as you drift from the media's minds eye....
as though it's all wrapping up...
not just beginning....
We will not forget.
