My LifeOften I turn toward the sun,smell a flower and taste the
wind ...Slowly walking through my days
one step at a time ...Beauty seems to take" its tollas I walk
closer into my days,reaching higher to someday be there,there in a
place I long to be ....

HalfMoonSmiling upon mewhen Iam sad,when night has fallenand no
one is around,looking up at your beautifulsmile,thinking no one is
with me,until I realize thatfor all those nightsI was truly never
alone.

There's No Reason To CryWaters will flow deeper
than the earth.Tomorrow the sun will risein the east ...and
setin the west.
The dead will fallupon the ground ...in autumnand bloom in
spring.
life will come ...andlife will go ...

Who am IA child without a face,a soul flowingwithout grace,am Ia
tree of gloomwith beautiful flowersto see me bloomthrough the
yearsdays and hours?Who am I?A slave all alonewith no one beside
me,no place to call my own.\X''ho can Ibe?Dust which the night wind
blows away,all alone till I'm oldand grey?Who amI?Blind with no one
to see,without a doubt?

Ugly ChildSitting upon a wooden shelfan old dusty bookclosed and
all aloneno cradling anus to lie inand no soft voice to
hear.Showing its ugly coverits chapters have beenwasted awayto
decay and mildew.No one dares to takea look inside,left alone
foreverwith secrets never tobe told.
