She Is There (poem)
In the streets she’s waiting
Waiting on some answer
Answer for some reason
Reason she is there
-
But all she sees is darkness
Darkness and surrender
Surrender to this evening
Evening of despair
-
Her sun awaits the morning
Morning filled with laughter
Laughter mixed with teardrops
Teardrops fill her prayer
-
For gentle mist now hides her
Her shadow midst the secret
Secret of a lady
Lady marred by care
-
And there he is her answer
Answer for this moment
Moment in an evening
Evening love affair
-
Somewhere a child is crying
Crying for its mother
Mother lost to hoping
Hoping child
Her precious child
The reason there is light at all
All this her prayers would spare
