Array ( [sid] => 33015 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Prairie [time] => 2004-01-28 17:44:08 [hometext] => I wrote this poem in 1998, after a trip to Wyoming and South Dakota, and after I read of the struggles of the early prairie settlers. I wrote it at age 13. [bodytext] => Flat, dry
Scorching hot sun
barren, full of sadness
unforgiving prairie
when will receive
relief from this pain?
will we ever feel
the cool pitter patter of the rain
on this dusty place?
we plant seeds of hope,
but in return
get nothing.

Far too often can we compare this barrenness to the human soul...
Take care Em.

Hey man, where there's life there's hope.
