I am sure the families very much appreciate the prayers. I am sure you prosided over many tragedy and comforted many families.

Lovely prayer Kendall. Is that your original? If so, do I have your permission to copy and paste it in some of the other threads that I am a member of?

[Dances-W-waves]

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of -- wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew,
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untresspassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

"High Flight"
A sonnet by World War II Pilot Officer John Gillespie Magee, Jr.
1922-1941
