Those Three Words

Jasper Ballard's last poem to appear here was Solitude. He reports that he will be returning to his beloved Haiti on mission over the holidays. In his words, "I wrote this poem when I was recovering from a parasitic infection following my first mission. The illness did not in any way dampen my love for that beautiful land and her people."
