                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. PAUL McHALE

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 20, 1998

  Mr. McHALE. Mr. Speaker, I insert into the Congressional Record the 
following poem written by the talented young actress, Kristin Dunst. 
Ms. Dunst recited this poem at a press conference in Washington 
sponsored by KidsPeace, the National Center for Kids Overcoming Crisis, 
on September 23. The event sought to highlight the results of a 
national survey by KidsPeace of early teens and to identify new ways to 
strengthen America's youth and families.

     It is in the idleness of our dreams that we will find the 
         city of angels lies deep within our minds.
     There is no loneliness or fear but if you feel it, know 
         they're near.
     In this world of so much hate, there could be a twist of 
         fate.
     Just think about the angels, they will find your lost soul 
         mate.
     In this tranquil world behind my eyes, your dreams won't turn 
         to wasted lies.
     No judging face or different race in this tiny place behind 
         my eyes.
     You can always tell who has wings, because their soul and 
         mind will sing,
     And the ones who are opposed, you will know their wings are 
         closed.
