10 GROUNDCOVER NEWS POETRY What are the holidays? D.A. Groundcover contributor This is not intended to be offensive And I am not your critic Nor is this an attack on your beliefs I'm just trying to understand Why not visualize this perspective with me?

Place them deep Inside your heart And live your life A work of art. This poem is dedicated to my niece, Alexis, and nephew, Ethan.
