Two yrs ago I attended a funeral of a baby and her brother read a poem on dragonflies. I've been afraid to ask the family where I can find a copy of that poem I don't want to stir up their pain, so I can also remember their cherished baby forever. If anyone out there knows how I can get ahold of a copy of that peom I'd greatly appreciate it. It metaphors on how the dragonfly is born in the water and when it reaches adulthood it tries to renter the water to rejoin it's family in the water but can't because it is now grown up and that's why dragonflies always when u see them around water hit or touch the water trying to reenter it. I just thought it was a beautiful poem her brother read. I've never been able to look at a dragonfly so marvelously again without thinking of the baby.
