I used to read this poem in order to change the tears of sorrow into tears of joy. I still read it whenever I'm missing her.<br><br>I know you aren't religious, but I'm praying.Jewlianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551980426170169654.post-2262624661717860792005-12-14T10:20:56.000-05:002005-12-14T10:20:56.000-05:00It doesn't matter that you're religious an...It doesn't matter that you're religious and I'm not, that was very sweet Julia.
