Read a dramatization of the Mueller Report

• A Mother Casts Her Dreams into the Sea
• A Villanelle for Mother's Day
• And These Are the Islands
• As I Wait at the Head of the Aisle
• As My Debt Grows, So My Love Does, Too
• Because like Roots We Intertwine
• Before I Was Myself You Made Me, Me
• Believe, Believe in the Power of Love
• Blessed Are Those Whose Joy Is to Give Joy
• Christmas Is a Time for Love and Fun
• Death Rides with Us on Our Ecstasy
• Foster Children Move from Place to Place
• Go Gently, Gently into That Good Night
• Good and Honest People Can Do Evil
• I Feel as Though My Heart Must Stop with Pain
• I Know I'm No Replacement for a Child
• I Must Accept But Can't What Cannot Be
• I Think About You Most of Every Day
• I Think of You as Watching from
• I Want You, but I Don't Want You to Know
• I Would Not Be the Sun to End Your Night
• I Would Not Sink My Teeth into Your Heart
• I'm Sorry I Can't Be with You Today
• Indians? Just Get a Few
• Love So Often Must Depend on Timing
• No Love So Strong It Needs No Sign
• Pleasures Come and Go: Love Abides
• Shadows Aren't Visible at Night
• Such Love of Life Cannot So Quickly Fade
• Talk to Me as Lovers Do
• The Bells Ring Not for Just These Two
• The Bond of Love Is Not Desire, but Need
• The Pursed Lips That Pursue a Vagrant Thought
• The Vows You Have Just Taken, Pledging Love
• There Are Mountains Too Beautiful to See
• There Is No Greater Miracle than This
• There's No Love Sweeter than the Love You Feel
• There's No Understanding What You Did
• This Mother's Day Without You Strains Belief
• This Truth Is like a Sea That Has No Shore
• Those Last Few Years of Helpless Pain
• Though I Chose Death Instead of Pointless Pain
• Wedding Vows
• Weep, Weep Within Me, Darling
• What a Puzzle Nick's Poems Are
• What Can I Do to Keep You from Despair
• When One Has Reached the Age of Eighty-Five
• Words Can Tell What Hearts Divine
• Would You Know the Tally of Your Time
• You Cannot Feel the Twisting of My Heart
• You Killed Yourself and Didn't Think of Me
• You Were for Us Not Only Love, but Bread
• Your Children Ought Not Be Your Legacy
