Kendall, thank you for Meghan's poem, bravely written. Here's one of mine for her- and for any who may need it:

          MAY DAY DAY (a song, really)

Cold and dark the winter- in March it snows again;
Through the rains of April, spring comes stealin in...
Smilin o'er the meadows in the rising light of day,
Beauty is reborn again, every first of May

Chorus: (For when I'm ) walkin with my darlin on a May Day Day,
         Walkin with my darlin on a May Day Day,
         O there's nothin much a'doin and there's little for to say-
         But, O my heart is happy on a May Day Day!

Folks are cold and distant- the world's about to freeze;
Never has this world seen harder times that these.
Suffering world, forgive me, and grant me just a day-
I cannot help but hope again, every first of May...

(For when I'm) walkin with my darlin on a May Day Day,
          Walkin with my darlin on a May Day Day,
          O there's nothin much a'doin and there's litle for to say-
          But, O my heart is happy on a May Day Day!
