Passion of the Child

July 2, 2006

Child,
is it worth the forfeit
This life you think you know?
Never to meet the dawn
Nor the sunset
That is always
Anew

Child,
So young,
What do you know?
What does the world know
Of you?

Suffer the day
Fight until dusk
But determine to taste
The fruit born
Of your tears
To do so,
bask in another morn’ s sun
You must

Sweet Dreamer

Written 2003

Sweet dreamer
The tears you have cried
Are prayers
Each one
Don’t hold them inside

Hope for the future
Let go of the past
Your day will soon come
This pain will not last

Hold tight to your dreams
And though you may cry
Live for today
Tomorrow you’ll fly
