    A Poem .... by Kenrick (8)
    A candle light
    flickers at night
    In the cold night air
    It would never fear
    On the table it sits
    when a person is sick
    In the dark it waddles
    playing with its shadow


    Fish .... by Kenrick (8)
    Fish, Fish, Fish,
    One Fish, two fish, three fish,
    Red fish, Blue fish, Yellow fish,
    Fish live everywhere in the sea.

    Fish, Fish, Fish,
    One Fish, two fish, three fish,
    Red fish, Blue fish, Yellow fish,
    Fish we eat, Fish we see.

    Fish, Fish, Fish,
    One Fish, two fish, three fish,
    Red fish, Blue fish, Yellow fish,
    Fish is amazing, as you see.

    Winter Light

    Hearts call
    Hearts fall
    Swallowed in the rain
    Who knows
    Life grows
    Hollow and so vain
    Wandering in the winter light
    The wicked and the sane
    Bear witness to salvation
    And life starts over again
    Now the clear sky is all around you
    Love's shadow will surround you
    All through the night
    Star glowing in the twilight
    Tell me true
    Hope whispers and I will follow
    Till you love me too

    Thanks to the multiple anonymous passers by whom picked up things dropping from my backpack and then raced after me in business suits and high heels while I was running in my runners to catch a bus in Tokyo.

    Thanks to the two anonymous passers by, strangers to each other, whom interrupted me in my phone calls for a tow truck, and after much trouble, lifted my car out of a hole in a back street in a sunny afternoon in Burnaby in the summer of 2009, and then quickly vanished.

    This humanity is supported by all the angels dwelling in every corner of this world.
