CLEAR SKIES AND STARS

Watch the sun and think of me...
I'll be there!
I'll sit and watch so carefully
I'll wish that you were here with me.
Sit and watch the sun slowly sink into the horizon.
When the sun is gone and you see no light
turn and look up...
   look into the night.
count the stars so high in the sky
for there's one for every tear I've cried.

Zoe reading my poem

I wrote this poem in prison. I was nineteen years old when I was sent to prison for assault.
Three days after I started a five to ten year sentence my girl friend revealed to me she was going to be having our baby. Just like any nineteen year old would do we got married. Wasn't a fancy wedding!
Crystal would drive by the prison after visits or what ever and honk her horn. So realistically I wrote this piece with the sun setting on a double Constantine fence. Theodore Scott Clark born October 7 1987. I did my own divorce while still incarcerated. That's all I can say about that.

  In June 2001 fathers day in factI KNOW WHAT A MIRICLE LOOKS LIKE!
My daughter Zoe Blyss was born. I was news director at q-95 country and also doing part time at 102.5 wmxe. I learned to use a program to make commercials for the station cool edit pro.
One day I recorded some of my poems mixed with some smashing pumpkins music.
Then i got the ideal to have Zoe read this poem. Of course she was to small and couldn't read.
So I said a few words then put the microphone in front of her and she repeated me. Then I put the piece in cool edit pro I removed my voice and moved Zoe together and it sounds like she whips it right out my personal copy also has "BY STARLIGHT" by the smashing pumpkins mixed with it.
