My angular and wandering travels....

I'm an international person, having spent 6+years of my youth in various Central and South American countries. Within my occupation as a television engineer, I've since traveled back to Mexico several times to film various religious sites, to Ireland to film a video documentary on the life of St. Patrick, to Portugal and England. Each time I took hundreds of pictures, wrote songs and poems about the things I saw and heard and felt go on around me, and tried to absorb a sense for what people in each locale thought. How they love, how they see, how they think.... My other sites: www.myspace.com/mothtoacandle http://community.webshots.com/user/waynocook www.soundclick.com/eddieaustin

We Still Have Hope

©2007 Wayne Cook

I went with her to the hospital today
Uncertainty written in our eyes
Yesterday I thought we were both immune
Today I want to cry

You can care and work and watch and love
You can drop to your knees and pray
You can see the sky with it’s lowering clouds
You can leave and run away

No matter how tough you are
No matter if you live or die
No matter if you were god yesterday
No matter how you soar and fly

What we don’t know could kill her
What we know is how much we love
What I hope and pray for is mercy
What I do is hold her hand and touch

Tomorrow….hands we must trust
Tomorrow, well, good or bad, we will know
Tomorrow we may have a war to wage
Today; today we….we still have hope
