Yet do not forget the simple hour! When birds sing awake the world And sunlight glints off fog choked grass Drenched in a cool morning dew. The decade old house spoke Creaking of wood underfoot Hidden pipes hissing for broke Antique frames holding on to Yesteryears memories true. When father bade instruction On daily chore and sweat of brow. Mother hummed her tune And attending to the garden Laughter of young innocence Sails in on wind swept curtains I pray thee do not lose heart! Do not forget the simple hour Least memories dim and the World is devoured in the dark Hold on wildly with all might Rage against a dying love Bring back the sweet light.

A Boy Named Jasper {Wattpad Featured Novel}

Jasper is a screwed up kid, yet no one cares enough to find out why. Bruises hide his arms and alcohol stains the walls of his house, but he pushes forward because it's the only thing left for him to do. His days are spent in and out of the school psychologist's office, while his nights are spent in fear of his father. His guitar and the secluded spot by the train tracks where he likes to play are the only saving graces in the hell that is his life. No one disrupted this normal routine until Callie came. Callie is far from screwed up; she doesn't have family issues and doesn't understand the first thing about Jasper's world. Her house is filled with answered prayers and smiles of people who love each other. Her arms are clear and her head is full of optimism that Jasper doesn't buy for a second. She never second guessed her sunny disposition on life until she stumbled upon a boy and his guitar down by the train tracks. Callie and Jasper weren't supposed to cross paths. She wasn't supposed to care and he wasn't supposed to let her get under his skin, but then again opposites weren't supposed to attract either. Callie saw the good in him where most people thought there was none ; she was captivated by Jasper because he made her question everything she knew about the world. She thought it would be easy to show him that there was still good left in the world, that there was more beyond all the bad he'd become accustomed to but sometimes it takes more than one girl's overly optimistic persistence to pull a person out of the hell they've been living in. ~~~~~ -Highest Ranking: #8 in spiritual, 10/25/17 ; #1 in Christianity, 2019 -Wattpad Featured Novel: 10/19/17
