Chris Garrett creates page after page of exciting stories in the form of riddles, rhymes and stanzas. We all have battles to face and sometimes the best defense is a pen and paper.
Excerpt from book:
We ask questions with questions.
As if we shield our shoulders from life's nasty daggers.
I can't think of suggestions.
Believing god's angels were sought and now captured.
Feeling so unprotected.
We shiver and shake at the fear of earthquakes.
Its not the quakes we fear.
The shaking of lonely hearts knowing no one is near.
We slow dance with loved ones.
To the last song you'll ever hear.
We only punish ourselves for falling in love.
Our punishment is for love to quickly disappear.
