[bodytext] => It was raining in Atlanta I was waiting for plane I heard a small voice to her mother she complained I am just a love child neither loved nor blamed but you and I are stuck here Waiting in the rain Who was my daddy was he kind and sweet was he just another of your friends off the street I was sipping my coffee she walked up to me I can tell you were listen what is it you see well there was only this girl I'd say she was thirteen not another soul but me I said, I see a young girl not much more than thirteen she smiled and said, I am eighteen My mothers in the coffin she meeting this plane I will ride with her through the pouring rain It was raining in Atlanta I was waiting for a plane listening to young woman explain For years I searched for her Grandma said there was no cure her soul was as free as that of a tiny bird Sheriff called grandma said they had mamma locked up in cell addicted to coke living in a special hell I was on my way to see her but there wasn't any cure for the sheriff found her hanging in her cell It was raining in Atlanta I was waiting for plane holding a young girl as her tears fell like rain When this world is done spinning I will take a special tour of the hells that each of us endure I pray for pain of heart I will find the cure cause its raining in Atlanta [comments] => 1 [counter] => 282 [topic] => 8 [informant] => walt [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AmericanTragedy )
