Dear Mr Ray.

Dedicated to Savon Rivera and Ray Rivera Dear Mr. Ray Was it you Mr. Ray Did you tell me I my sleep Was the voice I heard afar? Your sweet echo so I plead I really hope it’s yours I heard Because no one knows you like I do All the stories I was told I believe you can go through She deserves to live a life Where the ocean greets her feet And the flowers fall on her And her body, praised by beasts Where no worries seem to come And no stress to make a well My dear Mr. Ray …..Please Don’t let your daughter go to jail For her days have come to quick And her nights have come to slow Lay her body down to rest and stop her tearless, endless flow For there no on else here To take care of this little girl So she grew into a fear Feared by black and green and gold No one tries to get to know her But I left their road and learned Every speck and glow about her And accomplished my own goal So I thank you Mr. Ray For the creation you have made Bringing smiles to the world With the light you have bestowed.
