Weeping Widows"There is a river that cuts ThroughThe heart of EveAnd flows through Paradise's back window. It streams into A bottomless well That rolls down to hell With the tears of the Weeping widows. The women stand along the well, And cry While singing gray lullabies As orphaned children Light up candles to put on palm leaves To push into the stream With petals of jasmine And pieces of tangerine, Then sit back and wait for their father To show up over the horizon Where his heart still beats In their dreams.Suzy Kassem

How can man put a cost on saving this planet of ours? Have we traversed so far down the road that all we care about is money and wealth? Do we honestly care about the coming generations or are we so greedy that we don't really give a damn about what happens after we leave this life behind? To all of you that read this, stop and look at your son's or daughter's. Walk to your windows and look outside and see other children playing heedless of their parent's greed and selfish ideals. It's the children who we are saving this world for. Not Us!.Anthony T. Hincks

I have heard many a young unmarried lady exclaim with a bold sweep of conception, “Ah me! I wish I were a widow! ” Mrs. Keith was precisely the widow that young unmarried ladies wish to be. With her diamonds in her dressing-case and her carriage in her stable, and without a feather’s weight of encumbrance, she offered a finished example of satisfied ambition.Henry James
