I'm glad you honored us with your thoughts on this terrible tragedy You gave of yourself in so doing I realize and for that I am grateful. This wasn't easy, it isn't easy. Tragedy of this caliber are beyond The Poet's Words or Understanding of 'Why God, Why?'. Thus I refrained from poetic imagery myself, relying instead on my trusty sense of Journalistic Non-Persona with a touch of OpEd and a pinch of biting satire. That was my way. I wish I had the courage that you have shown us... "Push through. Push hand through blackness. I am saying to you, I don’t let you down. You don’t let me down. What God does is His business, but I’m going to reach and you’re going to hold and we’re going to fix it"... indeed! color me impressed!
