Can you imagine somebody writing such beautiful verses of poetry in childhood? I was very young when this poem was written.  Read two verses penned by Andrew in 1989 and 1990. 

Wind on the ridge

Wind on the ridge

Blowing strong and free

I hear your mighty voice

Roaring through the trees

Wind on the ridge

You shall not seem to mind

Each time I cross these rocky paths

My spirit I come to find

1989

Pain

Life is weary

And living is full of pain

Like a tired flower all withered

I long for the comfort of rain

1990
