Cicely
you walked into my world
wearing a cast
warm witty greeting
my third grade class
joseph medill school
nineteen hundred seventy one
the movie sounder debut
down town chicago
sensitive timid and shy was i
you were a rainbow
quite noble to my eye
a spoken chalice my heart ran
my soul escaped it seems
landing right into
my future hopes
my future dreams
ah as i awakened
wise and free
you were within
the wonder of me
