Written on a rainy day in a street car

Folder: 
1993

Out there somewhere in the world,

a person is dying.

Out there somewhere in the world,

a baby is crying.

Out there somewhere in the world,

there is a girl.

Out there somewhere in the world,

there is a pearl.

Out there somewhere in the world,

there is a boy.

Out there somewhere in the world,

there is joy.

Out there somewhere in the world,

there is love,

Out there somewhere in the world,

way up above.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Written when I was 8 years old.  I gave it the title when I discovered it again in my old journals, since it didn't have one.  I had written in my journal that I wrote this on the streetcar while it was raining, so that's where the title came from.

You've been on your spiritual journey for some time?

This is so isightful for a person of only eight years

And so well put.

We could do amazing things with more eight year olds like this in the world.

Good Luck and Godspeed
