Alone Together
There are gaps and walls between us,
Yet we're close because we care,
And the distance is diminished,
For there's one enemy we share.

God will paint rainbows in the sky
Once again for the world and I.
Signs that will tell us all is well,
Freedom from this grim living hell.
Dear Dinah,
I can't thank you enough. Your kind words have touched my heart. It's so nice to know the poets are being heard and read all over the world, that people like you are inspired by...

And then look you straight in the eye?
And how do I claim to stand for what's right,
Then accept disregard for your lives?
Our political views mean nothing,
There are no sides to take.
Both young and old must be prepared
To fight for all our sakes.
