Letters to Michael - a visionary novel

The Afterlife
can be Heaven or Hell,
depending on your beliefs
as two members of the
same family discover when
they both experience death.
 
"A thoroughly good read"

Prepare to cry and laugh out loud
and feel good all over.

A Quilted Song In Patchwork Harmony
(A Song For My Friend)
 

Back and forth, there sit I, rocking,
my chair (so comfy) in front of the fire,
with love and care I inspect my work,
patchwork quilt for a friend I fondly admire.

Special memories and meaning held every square,
each collected and gathered not only from me,
but others whose lives she touched and enriched;
through rebel truth and justice, she had set them free.

A beautiful hope chest made of dark cherry wood
she gave me ten years ago, sat empty by my chair,
waxing nostalgic, I smiled as I recalled to mind,
an old memory more precious than gold, I stored there.

I touch each square of fabric turned music and harmony,
like patches of many voices together singing one song;
she inspired us to achieve justice, never bend or conform;
we are all so very thankful to her for bringing us along.

We'll surprise her at the gathering we've planned,
all her friends and I, celebrating her 10th re-birthday
many great hopes and happiness express love through
tears of joy, for we know no words more heartfelt to say.
