3rd in the 'Watch Out! 2000' competition
As I gaze out through the window
Into the night sky,
I think of all her family
And begin to weep and cry.
When I start to approach her
I sight a single tear
And as I go to wipe it
I see her feelings clear.
Before not long ago
She was jubilant and merry,
But her emotions new
Are dismal, mixed and dreary.
Why must someone experience
All this hurt and hate?
Why should our hearts and souls
Be ruled by chance and fate?
