Shine a Blue Light
It’s not what you want to think about
this time of year
It’s not what you want to think about
ever
but here it is, an exquisite young life
cut short
by unimaginable tragedy
This beautiful young girl,
lost
the result of a terrible accident.
What could be better for a young girl
than a Girl Guide Brownie meeting
with friends, teachers, leaders?
Who could have known a safe
supervised walk home would result
in such tragedy?
Light up a blue candle.
Shine a blue spotlight on your porch.
Tie a blue ribbon on your lamp post.
Say a prayer for little Alexandra;
and another for her family;
and another for the emergency crews
that attended and gave such loving care
to little Alexandra.
And, find it in your heart
to say another for the driver of the car
that ended a bright young life
in such a tragic way.
