RALPH POYNTER PRESENTE!
one more dawn
is won over the night
as the last dark clouds
give way to the light
a candle of hope
i lit for you
throws vibrant shadows
on my wall
and they tell me your breath is as strong
as the love of the struggle
that keeps re-igniting its flame
we know the only real fireworks
are lit by your Revolutionary Spirit
every day of the year
Ralph,
there will be many fiery dawns
with you at our side
~~ Julia Wright
