Someone in This Room Tonight

Written for the attendees of the 2005 convention and presented at the Open Mic

Someone in This Room Tonight

Someone in this room tonight
could dance a dance of pure delight
with movement such as could excite
a lover's deepest appetite.

And someone in this room tonight
might soothe a child's midnight fright
with arms so strong and hugs so tight
there'd be no room for fearful night.

Yes, someone in this room tonight
has found a friend to love despite
the rift of many miles, but quite
alike in will and gift to write.

But someone in this room tonight
should own a wrong and make it right
and change a heavy heart contrite
to one of wisdom and insight.

Oh, someone in this room tonight
will shut the door, turn out the light,
and soon must fade from human sight--
someone in this room tonight!
