You'll meet an array, of characters.

The enemy at hand, keeps changing.
It is the time, to defend.

Story keeps us on, our toes.
Drama has us holding, our breath.

Oh so full of details.
Hard to keep them afloat. 

Give yourself time to absorb. 
History right before your eyes.

In another's name...

Or dodge him...
as once before?

What are plans...
in the works?
Possible can survive...
stab in back?

Hold on tight...

Barely enough time...

In a clench...
jaw and teeth.

Takes us to...
end of adventure.
As for me...

INNOCENCE LOST,
when evil lures in its victims.
Trust disappears,
when choice is not an option.

It happened,
yet no one else would believe.
That's when,
step up to odds against you.

With clarity,
of mind and determination and commitment.
Without hesitation,
address the issue and intensely proceed.

Include others,
without letting them slow you down.
Time priority,
yet don't let it become emotional.

Will interfere,
with the outcome and muddy waters.
Stay focused,
see it through to the end.

Fantastic story,
definitely wet my appetite for more.
I await,
for more and where takes us.

THE NEIGHBOR FROM BERGEN BELSEN, 
memories of sorrow.
Interspersed with days of yesterday, 
before taken away.

How life that was good, 
would soon disappear.
With no promise of tomorrow, 
or even today.

Story of now and then, 
filled with tears.
Helps us not to forget, 
a written warning.

Waves of before and after,
easy lose track.
Shows us how was easy,  
to disregard truth.

Important enough for us today, 
to truly understand.
So that doesn't happen again, 
keep eyes open.

To lessen value of person,
hurts us all.
Let us embrace our differences,
and grow from.

Let us not fall asleep,
at the wheel.
Let our children joyfully inherit,
a loving heart.

keep eye on.

Sets off,
some expressive sparks.

Feeling mutual,

Not telling,

Won't regret,
That's for sure!
  
Read book,
in one day.
Simply couldn't,

STRUGGLE WITH READING,
hard to admit.
Age doesn't matter,
an embarrassing situation.

Best to start,
at the beginning.
As a parent.
important to notice.

Be a part,
of the solution.
Ideal way starts,
with the parent.

Show that care,
willing to help.
Taking the time,
a valuable investment.

Lots of resources,
let's start here.
This author cares,
details all there.

Takes one step,
at a time.
To read carefully,
then carefully implement..

Don't be overwhelmed,
not going anywhere.
It's in writing,
for a reason.

Just proceed at,
your own pace.
All the while,
encouraging your child.

Hand in hand,
doing this together.
So better future,
both will have!
