Subject: I forgot to add that I think the reading Maria Shriver did at Tim Russert's memorial was beautiful. It gave me chills. Did you see it? I'll put it inside, just in case. - abra

The Little Ship

I stood watching as the little ship sailed out to sea. The setting sun tinted his white sails with a golden light, and as he disappeared from sight a voice at my side whispered, “He is gone”.

But the sea was a narrow one. On the farther shore a little band of friends had gathered to watch and wait in happy expectation. Suddenly they caught sight of the tiny sail and, at the very moment when my companion had whispered, “He is gone” a glad shout went up in joyous welcome, “Here he comes!”

I suppose you'd have to take poetic license to change the he to she.
