Notes About The Poem

A Shot In the Dark

the sun out there
somewhere
somehow
just asking
for a little faith

That is a hot issue!! Some think faith is the problem. But I think faith is important and can definitely help in tight situations - I go to synagogue most Friday nights and just bought batteries for my electric menorah. In the words of AC Powell: Keep the faith! And keep writing verse! Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

Your poem hit home. It is pouring rain here today Line, but I have faith by tonight when I go to the airport to pick up my granddaughters the rainbow have ceased. It is a little difficult driving in the rain at night for me. I wish you and your family a beautiful Christmas and new year. Mele Kalikimaka! xxoo
