The flight was long and tiresome, but we kept our spirits high,For we couldn’t quell excitement, no matter how we’d try.But we managed to survive it, and we gave a huge hurrah,As quickly we descended into Addis Ababa. Then there was immigration, such a real chaotic scene,It has to be the very worst, of all places I have been.But eventually we got through it, and we met the morning Sun,Now to see the children, now to have some fun.But first there were the cases, fifty odd or so,All to be accounted for, before we got to go.But eventually we made it, and off we set at last,Next stop please Kuriftu, and driver make it fast.We took in all the scenery, every road and field and street,But still we were impatient as the children we could meet.We drove up to the compound and they opened up the gate,Our adventure was about to start, thanks to God who’s truly Great.We got to share in worship, met again with many friends,Hoped, and prayed with all our hearts, this journey never ends.But best of all the children, for they made our trip worthwhile,For nothing beats the pleasure, when you see the children smile,The time we had was precious; every minute filled with glee,And I have to thank the Lord above for sharing it with me.The memory is indelible; its sun will never set,Something to be treasured that I never will forget . . . amen.These poems were written with the objective of raising much needed funds for the magnificent work carried out by the Hope for Ethiopia Team at Whitewell Metropolitan Tabernacle in Belfast. All proceeds from the sale of this book will go to brightening up the lives of the children there. God Bless.

    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
