TRUE HOLLY / THE 1959 CHRISTMAS CARD		Because I love the sound of bells I haunt the churchyards all year long no matter where I might be traveling. Because true hilly makes me smile I wait for Christmas just like Children. And I wait for children too. Because September travels slow I catch it while I can and hold it over for another month or two. Because this year I’m poor again I’ve written you another Christmas poem made with last year’s love and next year’s too. - from “Twelve Years of Christmas,” 1969

Birthday research by Wade Alexander o Poetry from the collection of Jay Hagan o Coordinated by Melinda Smith o Sound & Fury Dr. Eric Yeager o Webmaster Ken Blackie
