I will now be working on the publication of my collection of 40 poems in an ebook called "Poems from the Deckchair Boy" - I spent five wonderful summers down on Aberdeen Beach, as a young boy, carrying deckchairs/windbreaks for the summer visitors to earn tips and saved for my first bike, my golden retriever puppy called Rex, twenty premium bonds, holiday money, and my first Raleigh, 10-speed racing bike ( £26 ).
A talented artist has now completed the pencil drawing for the A5 ebook cover.
Now I need to complete the process and produce copies of my ebook with forty poems. Here is a copy of the last one written - there has been another terrible earthquake in Haiti in the southwest of the island and many have been killed and injured. I want you all to read my poem and to make a small donation to this charity that are feeding very hungry families in Haiti. Please go to their website, watch the videos, and make a donation. God bless you all - David Brinkman.
Love A Child
My heart was broken,
At the sight of young and old,
Scouring among the mounds of rubbish,
On a garbage dump in Truttier, Haiti,
For a piece of moldy bread,
Or some rotten meat,
To put in their empty stomachs.
My heart was broken,
At the sight of a family,
Existing in a small tent,
Made of cloths and rice bags,
With a jobless father,
Searching for cans to sell,
To feed his four unclothed children.
My heart is happy,
At the news of this family,
Now living in a small house,
In the Miracle Village,
With their father working in construction,
Well-fed children in school,
Thanks to your donations to loveachild.com.
