      On Death Row, There's No Such Thing As Closure

      Aug 2, 2019

      It is August of the year 2000, and I am cold. I know the sun is shining outside, but there are no windows in the courtroom. The lighting is subdued, darker in the back where spectators sit and lighter in the front where tragedies play out—like a the

      About the Author

      Hope

      We possess this innate ability to hope

      To desire, want, expectations for

      To hope beyond hope

      This helps us to cope

      With situations that cause us pain

      Hope, the eternal optimist

      The essence of life that makes us fight

      Against the obstacles of heaven and hell

      We answer the ringing of the bell.

      Many emotions beyond our control

      Bring us back to the one we ignore

      When the heart is broken

      And the soul feels weak

      Hope is what we seek

      Your heart will heal

      And your soul will strengthen

      Hold up your head

      And give me a smile

      Together we'll walk the miles

      Through heaven and hell

      We answer the ringing of the bell

      Hope.

      Forever
