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 ...
