The sun's in her eyes,
But she's not focusing on the sun,
God is above her waiting,
But she's not hearing his whisper,
When the wind blows,
She no longer feels it,
And when she walks to the park and the children laugh and play,
She does not understand it,
She is so deep in pain.
Though she's sad,
I wish that,
When the sun reaches to her,
She would look up to the sun,
And when God is there waiting,
She would call his name,
Then maybe she would come to realize. ..
That maybe as she faced the sun, as they are both standing under a sun,
She would start to feel it,
And she would feel the warmth as her friend is.
They are under the same beauty of the sun,
And they are hearing the same whisper from God,
And feeling the same love for each other.

IF I WAS ABLE TO EXPLAIN HOW I FEEL
(This is how most major egg farmers keep chickens)
I am in a cage that is a little bigger than my body,
With just a small hole for my head to stick out,
I am one of the hundreds among the rows of shelved cages,
As if I am merely an object,
And nothing else.
All day I hear the constant outcry of the other chicken's frustration and the clang of metal,
From everything combined the noise is very loud and fills this huge warehouse,
It only quiets down at night,
In the pitch blackness of the building,
It has been months since I have even seen the light of day or felt the wind reach me,
All I see is the constance of those florescent lights that line across the warehouse ceiling,
And all I feel is the wire beneath my feet,
It has been weeks since I have even been let out of this cage and put into a small pen for a few minutes,
And it frightens me when they carry me cause they are not gentle one bit.
There is no joy in my life, I can't even move,
Basically every necessity has been taken away besides food and water,
And that is the same everyday.
I have nothing,
And all I want is the basic, simple joys of life,
To make my spirit come alive again.

NEVER SAY GOODBYE
Their eyes never really close forever,
Because their spiritual eyes continue to see more and more,
Their life never really has stopped growing,
Because their life never ended for a moment, they only continued,
Their support throughout your life won't ever end,
It continues faithfully and steadfast, even in those times when you won't realize it,
That connection that you share doesn't have to fade,
'Cause through the ray of light of a prayer you can speak to them,
They know,
We never have to say goodbye,
All we need to say is "I love you."
