With An Angel On My Shoulder: Wall of Ice

The Poem That Inspired My Subtitle

A Song for Daniel, Stillborn
by Jean Felice Eilbert (his mother)

When I held you in my arms that day
Born so still, born anyway
How was I to know to say goodbye?
No one knew just what to do
Except tell me I'd get over you
As if forgetting makes it all untrue -- a lie

But I remember to remember
I can't forget just to forget
Your memories are a part of me
Connecting me to what comes next.

And even after all this while
I think of you, sometimes I smile
Memories of my unknown child, fade slow.
I've held you in my heart each day
Life so short, life anyway
Memories are meant to say hello.

Wall of Ice

About 1.5 hours away from here, strong winds blew ice off a lake into a huge wall. This video below shows just how massive the wall of ice is. Apparently, people are coming from all across the country to see this!

(I got this video off YouTube. If it is yours and you wish me to remove it from my blog, please let me know)
