This one came to me in a dream,... too powerful to ignore.

Poignant We found her starving in the street. Dirty red dress, no shoes on her feet. Clutching a dead kitten close to her breast, Sad story; we needed to know the rest. "What is the name of your kitten?" I asked. "Poignant!" She held it tight, her face masked. "That's a mighty big word for a little girl's head?" "My Mommy said it, when my Daddy fell dead." "And where is your mother, and why aren't you fed?" Tears welled up in her eyes, "Poignant," she said. Copyright 2003 � Ronald W. Hull 10/11/03 Photo of Robert Kennedy talking to a poor child.

Wow! Chilling! I can't help but to wonder if this is true. My heart breaks every day for the children.

Never knew anyone had actually written so many poems. I'm defiantly putting you on my "heart" so I can read more.

This one really touches my heart. Did you experience this in reality? My husband and I take care of a whole bunch of children in our town. It is the most rewarding thing we do. I can certainly see why this is one of your favorite poems. Now, it's one of mine.
