I listened to the rain
One warm summer night...

Tonight my thoughts
Will turn to you...

Inner city child
concrete for your play...

Stars at twilight, growing dim
Once they shined so bright...

Armed and dangerous
They roam the streets...

In the shelter where I worked
he followed me room to room...

Dear Daddy,
I`m only seven years old...

Dear Diary,
Lying quietly on the bed beside me...

Dreamers
Eyes wide open, face the darkness...

In answer to Edgar Allen Poes Anabel Lee
My love sweet Edgar, seeks only thee...

At the end of the night
Watching silently for the new days start...

Family
As I whisper a soft goodbye...
