    • Very excited and very grateful. My son Michael will be coming back to American soil in about 12 days I want to thank all of you for your prayers and well wishes and strength.

    Starfish and Seaweed
    Mother Earth is fighting back.
    She covered the skies
    With cloud cover
    All rippled and combed
    Like the sand after the tide has receded.
    I looked for starfish
    And bits of seaweed.
    But
    They had already been collected
    By one who woke much earlier
    Than I.
