THE LOST SOUL The body now lay covered entrrely wrth a snow wetted blanket The pohce had come and gone after askmg the usual quest1on The place was s1lent now except for the weepmg heard from a loved one left to face the hurt and lonesomeness Even the currous onlookers were sllent Thls dreadful sxlence seemed to grow denser and even the crylng stopped for those few moments when they carrred the body away only to become heavy and mtense subs1d1ng agam to low sobbrng Phe crowd began to move not gorng anywhere an unsteady xocklng back and forth turnrng of heads hands bemg used for words Soon a low mumble went through the crowd The questxons Who d1d Ita D1d they get h1m9 were asked of anyone and of course no answers were glven because no one knew The mumble became a low rumble The rumble grew 1nto a monstrous roar Suddenly as lf everyone were nn shock lt was qu1et Phe no1se the xnqu1r1es had once aga1n brought out the feelmgs of the one so recently hurt They llstened The crylng now much softer th1s trme was definrte The sun was shmmg extremely hot for h1gh noon 1n mrdwmter but lt was cold and the crowd stxll hung on It contmued to stay untrl a krnd helprng hand one who may have been left alone sometxme and understood moved the onlookers and passersby back bade them go home thmk not of the d1sasters and leave the dlsturbed feehngs alone Dont hurt them anymore When learmng through some unknown source of a careless h1t and run dr1ver they went w11l1ng1y after one last look and a shake of the1r heads As the crowd thxnned a tear starned face looked up and watched the people go crymg fervently then once aga1n to stop Then gettxng up trylng hard not to cry and be brave the lonesome l1ttle orphan boy who wrth h1s dog used to wander the streets eatlng and sleepmg who knows where lookmg 1n the dlrectron the people went started down the street rn the opposlte d1rect1on alone LIFE S JOURNEY Lxfe lS but an upward journey A narrow twrstmg rough pathway On whrch Man travels ever onward Toward 111s Homeland mght and day When he starts out he lS just a baby Not understandmg very small Wrth not a worry to cause hxm trouble And not a slngle care at all Then new days brmg new excltements There are so many thrngs he wants to know How far IS up what s the w1nd And what makes the flowers grow?
