I could have been'

What my life could have been.

I could have been a city woman,

Trapped in traffic and clocks

Live by the hour and sell your soul,

But I am not

Nameless and faceless,

The living dead

The only hope,

To die in a bed

Who cares, who knows,

Like rats in a cage

Gone in the drink,

Or die in a rage

But here I am,

Way out at sea

Living with nature,

And I am free

Where birds soar high

With joy I find

I am alive

Beyond the grind

Mary Cecil

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.

On the Edge of Words by Debra Kraft

Questions, unquestioned discoveries, and answers in parable and rhyme…. This collection records a journey starting with a 1960s retrospective and the first man on the moon, moving to a new millennium welcomed in with a terrorist spin, family crises,
