Look
I know the children
And I know the children die
It happens every day
All the time
In real fires and in our strategies
Denying food
Denying safety
Denying home
Do we turn away to say
Not mine
Or do we look at it
To say
All ours

My name is Christopher. I use C L Couch because it is a form of my name that's genderless and easier to write out. I have severe writer's cramp. I am a career educator and writer. I also enjoy (other) fine arts. I am semi-retired due to disability. I live in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania (USA). The main photographs at this site (of the road, of me) were crafted by photographer and friend Debra Danielson. A variety of her work is available for appreciation at http://www.debradanielson.com/.

“All ours” of course. Although sadly many do not think this way. Hope you are well Christopher that you had a great Easter. I’m glad to see you occasionally post 🙂

Thanks, Amanda, and you’re right. I’ve not been doing so well lately. Lots of pain and other challenges.
I hope you are really well!

I’m so sorry Christopher, I pray that God will take away your pain and you will feel better. I’m sorry for your suffering my friend. You still write beautiful and didactic poetry 🙂
