Spirit of Christmas
how hard I see you cry
lost in what the world's become.

So afraid those who need you most
will only see you as a lie
while to life's evil they succumb.

Spirit of christmas
how hard I see you try
only touching the hearts of some.

Yet never failing to hope
humanity will hold you close and sigh.
before we all go numb.

I forbid Christamas and the geart of man to lose the spirit. The children who are poor have the most spirit as they believe in miracles and so do I. I had Christmases when we had nearly nothing but we were full of the Christmas spirit and that, my darling Pierre, is the heartbeat.
I've missed you.

Love,
Susan

Dear readers, this is my third book of poems, and inside are a special collection of what have turned out to be not only MY personal favorites, but also the favorites of many of YOU. Some of these have never been available in print before...

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
