in times of desperation there is a little one I wished to be
when hearts are spoken on hollowed ground – it is I who can not see.
with virtue of the strongest man-my path looks o’so bitty.
with shallow water in their ears-the babies will still drown.
and in the shallow water my desperation stands in ground.
