When in darkness, you were captive,
I caused Light to shine on your face.
to awake you from darkness,
and draw you to the secret place.

I miss the Lady down the road,
my mom, and cousin too.

'I've eaten, ' she told a white lie.
A glass of ice water just before bed
a few nights a week to get by.

My hands would break to care for you,
little one, my precious one.
There's nothing I wouldn't do,
to show just how I love you.

a passing train.
Another soothing sound I've found,
is falling rain.

a child of sixty-two.

I want to explain to you.
