The setting among the handicapped was an eye opener and I didn't just enjoy the story , I came away with an appreciation of those who give of themselves in service to others. His poets heart was so evident in the way he constructed his sentences...instead of racing through the story I often slowed down to just enjoy how he painted with words.</div> </div>
