she was to the national headlines

a golden monument to life

and yet a glaring representation of innocence

taken and destroyed

even brutalized in fact

some would shout to her killer

how could such a dazzling light in the world

be so callously extinguished

especially while she carried within her

another glorious being of light yet born

we are just not meant to understand some acts

that are put upon us

our role is but to better learn from each

incident that comes our joyous and or troubled

way

though as difficult and wrenching as this

abomination was/is

and even harder as it may be to believe

still

there is so much beauty in the aftermath

as often is the case

the startling realization of the millions who

came to care so much for the once bubbly

now slain lovely girl

evidence of the great, great love that people

carry for one another deep in their souls

this poem is for her

that dear her the world got to meet

sadly postmortem

please know that our hearts and prayers go out

to the shattered family of dear Laci Peterson

and her son Connor

I just hope they know that were it not for this

terrible tragedy

we the world would not have known just who she

was

from her death so many got to witness her light

so in that tiny fact I fervently pray her family

finds a modicum of peace and comfort

in these greatest hours of grief and pain

for now in the hands of GOD all of Laci and little

Connor's love is lain..............
