In shadows cast by life's cruel hand,
There dwells a soul, both meek and grand,
...
Johnny Cade, a soul so fragile,
In a world of darkness, he found solace.
A heart burdened with pain and fear,
Yet in his eyes, a flicker of hope.
...
In a world of strangers, she appeared,
A friend like no other, sincere and dear.
No blood relation, yet a bond so strong,
A friendship that could never go wrong.
...
Ponyboy Curtis bright,
Golden spirit, heart of fire,
Outsider's delight.
...
Sodapop Curtis shines
Bright as the sun in our lives
Love flows through his smile
...
You left me when I needed you the most
I have no one to talk to
I have no one to cry my river of tears to
I don't have a shoulder to lean and cry to
...
My good sister, you inspire me to write.
How I love the way you skip, walk and think,
Invading my mind day and through the night,
Always dreaming about the writing ink.
...
There's always a friend happy to see me
She showers me with her kisses
Out of all of the people I am the one she misses and love
She knows when I am hurt
...
My memories need to be muted
I try to shut them out
Reappearing in my mind
My emotions and thoughts bring them back to life
...
My warm sister you inspire me to write
I love the way you laugh and dance
Invading my mind day and night
Always dreaming about the writing ink
...
