I would like to join you in a moment to spare a thought for those families that lost someone they held so dear. It was a horrible unthinkable thing that occurred today and it should never ever be allowed to happen again. I'm still reeling quite badly from it myself, given my line of work. If I may, I would like to share a memorial poem.
Young Life Cut Short
by Unknown Author
Do not judge a song by its duration
Nor by the number of its notes
Judge it by the richness of its contents
Sometimes those unfinished are among the most poignant…
Do not judge a song by its duration
Nor by the number of its notes
Judge it by the way it touches and lifts the soul
Sometimes those unfinished are among the most beautiful…
And when something has enriched your life
And when it’s melody lingers on in your heart.
Is it unfinished?
Or is it endless?
