These are the gifts that my dear "Beach Buddy" Louisiana Angel, sent me! As call it winter, which being full of care, makes summer's welcome thrice more wish'd, more rare. -- William Shakespeare You are not alone A single star extends its light as dusk prepares the path of night; soon millions more will flicker bright. It is not alone.   A tiny bird chirps mournful pleas, forlorn among a grove of trees; but soon a choir fills the breeze. It is not alone.   When waves of sorrow bring despair, you falter under grief you bear; accept support from those who care. You are not alone.   When humans cry at altered plans, the purpose we can't understand; we need to grasp God's loving hand. We are not alone.
