A Lover of Words

A native Jamaican heart,
  Now living in the U.S.A.
Blessing us with his talent,
  Each and every single day.

A great father to his children,
  And a husband to his wife.
With a love for poetry,
  He’ll be a great poet for life.

With a love for simple living,
  Nestled in the South is preferred.
Christopher Higgins is our friend,
  And a passionate lover of words.
