Bond

You're everything I wanted Everything I need You are so beautiful to me. Joe Cocker She was a scruffy little thing An undernourished, pale wisp of a child Never quite recovered from two bouts of pneumonia Before she was a year and a half old. Her mommy said, "I never knowed she was sick til the neighbor told me To take her to the doctor." Her face was always dirty And her white hair looked as if She had stuck her tiny finger into an electrical outlet. She cried continuously for her mommy, Who had not bothered to wean her from the breast Before sending her to the free day care across the street. I looked, and found, deep inside this fragile waif An inner strength and beauty And for the first time in my life, I knew The true meaning of love.
