UNDER THE VERRAZANO BRIDGE

by Theresa Lovelace

His dreams, his hopes, his fears
Tied loosely together, held close to his heart
No one would ever know this secret he held
As he shivered in the dark.

A look down the road was dark and unsure
As he wanted to live like a man with his own
He felt there was not even one open door
So he struggled and refused to go home.

At night in his car he stared at the stars
He gazed at the moon and vowed he would rise
He dreamed of better times there in the dark
These were just momentary times.

Under the Verrazano Bridge
He stayed for so many days
Planning his move so methodically
And soon would make his escape.
