Everytime I hear this it reminds me of how hard being a teenager can be. It's very touching and sad. Roseanne's show was so great people don't give her enough credit, they only remember how difficult she was said to be. I hope she does more television. The girl who played Darlene was wonderful too, and so young. What a talent.

Yeah, it was. Roseanne was one of the very, very rare sitcoms that actually showed very realistic events and issues that families that are poor can come across.

[rodnae duncan]

yes

Whoever wrote this poem was brilliant.

Away, away, why do you stay? Fly away, bird. It looks at me and still it hops, and hops, and hops. Fly away. It spreads it's wings, and flies away, away, it does not look back.
