That night I was awaken to over 15 police with rifles aimed at me and helmets and metal jackets. I remember asking them if they were going to kill me and there was nothing but commands and then silence. I was handcuffed and taken away. I wake everyday remembering being thrown in a prison cell for something I did not do. What I remember most was that the cell was very small and all cement, no windows, electric locking door, no bars to see outside and very very cold. No pillow to rest my head, just a steel slab to lay on, a toilet and sink. No toilet paper. I remember trying to sleep but was so cold that the chattering of my teeth kept me awake. My future was uncertain and that was what frightened me the most, but as hard as it is for me to believe, I have been through worse. So I put my life in God's hands that night and with the loving care from a good friend I walked free and saw the sky again.

Its funny but before I finally fell asleep that night I remembered a song I loved so much when I was small that lived with me until my later years that I want to share with you. I got me though that night and let me see the sky again. When you feel your life slipping away say these words and hopefully you will think of me and feel better:

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
In the land that I heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.

Someday I’ll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimney tops that’s where you’ll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow
If happy little bluebirds fly above the rainbow, why oh why can’t I?
