I SPOKE WITH THE SUN
|
|||
|
|
by Caroline Tancredy
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I spoke with the sun and he promised no rain.
|
|||
|
|
He promised me warmth and he promised no pain.
|
|||
|
|
He said he'd rise slowly so he wouldn't blind me.
|
|||
|
|
He promised to shine, and not hide behind me.
|
|||
|
|
He promised a Rose which he'd grow with his light;
|
|||
|
|
It would shine as a symbol-pretty and bright.
|
|||
|
|
With a kiss of his warmth and hope from his beams
|
|||
|
|
He said making me happy was one of his dreams.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now the sun has gone down and I've spoken with the moon.
|
|||
|
|
He's promised the sun would be back again soon.
|
|||
|
|
But the stars have all warned me that it will possibly rain;
|
|||
|
|
that the sun was not honest when he promised no pain.
|
|||
|
|
I've looked into the night and I've prayed as I've cried
|
|||
|
|
that the sun will return and my eyes will be dried.
|
|||
|
|
I'll sit through the storm and I'll sleep through the night.
|
|||
|
|
I believe in the sun and I'll wait for the light.

THEY SAID
|
|||
|
|
by Tricia Hites
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
They said I would get over it
|
|||
|
|
though I never did
|
|||
|
|
They said it wouldn't hurt
|
|||
|
|
though it left scars
|
|||
|
|
They said that if she cared
|
|||
|
|
She would stop him
|
|||
|
|
though she never did
|
|||
|
|
They said he would suffer
|
|||
|
|
just like me
|
|||
|
|
though he never did
|
|||
|
|
They said they would make
|
|||
|
|
his life miserable
|
|||
|
|
though now he lives happily
|
|||
|
|
The pain has not subsided in me
|
|||
|
|
and no matter what they say
|
|||
|
|
it never will ...
