Poems By Our Readers

Over the years former MK's and their family members have sent us poems. We keep them all. Through poetry they have given voice to their pain and in so doing brought healing to others.

If you have a poem, or these poems inspire you to write one, please send it to beverly.shellrude.thompson@cogeco.ca
