"...When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." -John Lennon

Two thousand of us
touched, shocked
beyond words--
speechless with incredible intentions
We're praying for you
Two thousand hearts
reaching out
But the most beautiful thing
about it all
is the silence
Two thousand
silent
hopeful
watching
crying
eyes
Every single one of us
thinking your name.
