You All Hold A Place In My Heart

The names of your loved ones and family members ring through my mind each and every day. I reflect on them often, and I send love and hope to your communities. I am with you in your fight to change America. I am with you in your fight to make the world a better place in the wake of this tragedy. It is a promise I have made to myself, and I am making to you. We will persevere. Through love, kindness, and compassion, we will transform the policies in place and change the politics to support a collective, positive humanity. Your strength is an inspiration to me. We are all in this together. 

As an artist and poet, I needed to express myself upon hearing the news last year, to offer comfort, and to heal. My poem can be found on my personal blog: http://thesvenbo.blogspot.com/2012/12/sandy-hook-reaction-tete-tete.html 

I hope it gives you strength. God bless you all.

With love,

Steven T. Licardi
