POEM 2

WHO

Who in the world is livin
Who in the world has died
Who is lookin for a star
Who is filled with pride
Who is just a person
A'lookin back at me
Lonely as most people are
Afraid to simply be
Who is there in danger
Who is lost and alone
Who is just a little child
A'lookin for a home

POEM 1: ONCE

POEM 3: IF

POEM 4: WHEN

POEM 5: WHY

POEM 6 :HOW
