For My Friends...
especially Lorene...


When we are sodden and low
Backs hunched from the cold,
pressing world
Rain drenching our clothes
and our hearts
Take comfort, my dear friend…
That if we stand
Back to back
We can stand upright and tall,
By leaning on each other,
Holding our eyes to the horizon,
We will see the future.
