The Healing Garden, 1435 Webster Street, Alameda, CA
A father died in the worstest way,
His son distraught and bound in woe,
Knew neither how or where to go,
Then burden placed of heavy weight,
To right the wrong for justice's sake,
And thus the child did take bold steps,
To mend the ache from these sharp frets,
We know "To be or not to be,"
The context is our play for thee,
But this great tale has many layers,
As shall be shown by the Foodbank Players,
A tale of grief and love and life,
Of how we navigate through strife,
The greatest mirror of who we are,
Writ by our language's brightest star,
The stage for you shall soon be set,
Come be a part of our Hamlet.
