A rebirth of sorts where we are born again Just as babes frail and weak in their new skin; And as we are remembered we grow... And grow... Till those who recall are no longer. But by then we are immortal For we have become the grass and a part of the rest of you 1/17/'14

Not sure if this is the correct way to reply as it is my first time...i am afraid i have nothing critical to say...and that says it all H

I just want people to understand that as some religions teach us when we die we only change from one state of being to another...thus we are never truly dead and gone. Thanks again for your kind words -- gabe
