[hometext] => Weatherman claimed it was gonna be sunny...
[bodytext] => Hush now, Sweetheart, it's going to be alright Words faux and soothing for the troubled child As you sit at the table in your dark apartment The power was cut off while you were at work Struggling all day for less than minimum wage Fifty a day should be enough, so you hoped But the boss is on vacation 1500 miles away You couldn't ask for an advance (actually beg) So in the cold dark, you worry with your child Your baby is hungry but you can't cook (or see) What will happen to the milk and eggs and such Who will tell you everything is going to be okay You know you honestly didn't do anything wrong Except maybe it was to marry an immature ass Who can't and won't grow up and at least help Despite that, you still think you're in love, though The holidays really sucked out loud this year You couldn't afford food let alone any presents The cold forced you to spend the utility money You're glad you bought those thrift-shop coats You couldn't get help from the welfare department Not without verifiable proof of income (pay is cash) The local church said you need to check elsewhere Because you're not a member of the congregation Don't want to cry in front of the baby, oh mustn't A brave face is all your child needs to ever see You were worried but now you're so very afraid At least tomorrow, your baby'll be warm at school If you use the rent, you can get the heat again Maybe the boss'll be back from vacation by then Thoughts of what to do next cause a little laugh Yeah, maybe we'll go to Disneyland, huh???

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
