I.
A glimm'ring rainbow greets a saint
flown that frigid morn.
Heaven's gained another darling
but Earth's adoring hearts are torn.
II.
Upon the solemn school descends a bitter pall;
sadness skulks about the classrooms
and drifts about each hall.
Carpets, desks, paper, tests
are marked by tears that freely fall.

A great tragedy struck the students yesterday... a friend, Alyssa, lost her life on an icy road. Our prayers are with her family... everyone's all shaken up about it. I don't blame a one of them. She was very nearly the purest soul at the school.
Please, everyone, drive carefully.

P.S. There was a massive double rainbow this morning-- literally a halo around the sunrise. Alyssa for sure-- Heaven was excited to meet her.
