Hey guys, I'm looking for a poem posted on this site a few months back, went something like "children die - c'est la vie" in the first line. I loved it but I cant remember who wrote it so if you can give me a hint, a link, anything, I'd be really grateful. Tah!
Got a poem or short story you want me to critique?

If the search can't find it then its proably not on YWS anymore. The author may have dealeted it or something. Did you comment on it? if so you might try looking through your posts.

hecategirl is right, the fastest way to find it is to look through all your old posts, which you can do. If you can't find it then, it was probably lost during one of the change-overs.
Sing lustily and with a good courage. Beware of singing as if you were half dead, or half asleep; but lift up your voice with strength.

Hey, I found it, Bubblewrapped. I looked all over the YWS database, but I found it.

It is called "untitled" by Faith.
