Poetry - Disparity

Here's a new poem by Michelle, specially for Christmas. If you'd like to use it at one of your serivces, please feel free, but it would be excellent if you could just let us know.

to the local hospital,
Just before you were born,
I think your dad walked miles with your mum
to a place far from home. . . Read more
