Then, Chicken soup could cure any cold,
Back than all your life was waiting to unfold,
Back than a cartoon band-aid could cure any cut,
Back than you only cried when on your finger a door shut,
But now we wonder what could cure a heart thats cold,
Right now, we dont have much life to unfold,
I should've know this from the start,
That no bandage can cure a broken heart.

The author's comments:
Its a sweet and sour transition we all go through, and the chicken soup, is really a metaphor for what comforts you and cures you, throughout this painful transition.

Favorite Quote:
"Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind."
