[hometext] => A dedication to another of my street kids and her unborn child. Melissa Jane and Jade died 24th/ 02/ 03 of a heroin overdose.I feel like a dead man walking.When will it stop.
[bodytext] => Within these chapel walls so gray
I fare welled two children today The Chaplin offered up their souls To the heavenly kingdom made of gold. Melissa Jane now rests in peace A victim of the heroin beast Not another mourner could be seen For this sweet child of seventeen. The back alleys of Perth she roamed Train stations and parks were her home This child nobody seemed to know Never got the chance to shine and glow. Molested from an early age She roamed this world filled with rage But to street kids much younger than she A mother figure she came to be. Like a little mother doting hen She fought their battles, protected them She'd tell them always walk with pride Remember I'm always at your side. But there was no one there for her When slinking like a mangy cur Deaths dealer came to seek her out Come home with me I'll help you out. And once he'd had his lustful way He spat her out, chased her away It wasn't long before she knew Within her womb life stirred anew. So searching for a remedy With heavy heart she came to me I'm running out of space and time What will happen to this child of mine. There's no real options she declared I'm catholic , so best get prepared But fate stepped in and played it's hand Deaths dealer called with the final plan. And so I said farewell today To Melissa Jane and unborn Jade Within my heart their spirit sleeps Mine to treasure and to keep.

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. ©
