Philip Thomas Gompf August 5, 1999-August 17, 2009 "Profoundly sensitive, brilliant, wise beyond his years, a budding author and scientist, and forever alive in my heart" (by his Mom) When a child dies, all one can do is support the family.. send them good vibes, prayers to heal the hole now in their hearts, energies to sustain them.. My dear chosen sister, Nu`riah (who painted the Henna art on my frame drum), lost her young son to bacterial meningitis Monday morning. Please hold the family in your hearts and souls; pray for them to gain understanding of this tragedy. Just hold them close. We all thank you.. the wagons have been circled to protect and comfort them. The words below, written by Tim Rice & music by Elton John, somehow were all I could think of... "Circle Of Life" From the day we arrive on the planet And blinking, step into the sun There's more to be seen than can ever be seen More to do than can ever be done Some say eat or be eaten Some say live and let live But all are agreed as they join the stampede You should never take more than you give In the circle of life It's the wheel of fortune It's the leap of faith It's the band of hope Till we find our place On the path unwinding In the circle, the circle of life Some of us fall by the wayside And some of us soar to the stars And some of us sail through our troubles And some have to live with the scars There's far too much to take in here More to find than can ever be found But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky Keeps great and small on the endless round Elton John & Tim Rice © 1994 Walt Disney Music Company © All rights reserved *Explore : 18 August 2009 #465
