Side by side on my dresser
Are two folded papers.
One is the program from a memorial service:
A friend expired at age 25
Because, for reasons I can't know,
In Brooklyn one night,
He decided to jump.
The other is a thank you card:
A friend decided to keep living at age 25
Because, she tells me,
"There is still hope somewhere,
Even when I can't feel it."
my fave verse on hope: We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. it enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. Hebrews 6:19-20
