Grace,

I hope by the time you get this letter you are doing a lot better and not depressed. So are you still studying until you take your GED? I'm glad that you did something that makes you happy for your birthday.

You kind of sound like me because I don't have many plans for the future myself. I am really taking one day at a time and just see where I end up.

Yes, I did take some time out and think about things that I'm grateful and I do that every day. I have seen a lot of evil things here in prison and I am so grateful that them evil things ain't never come my way at all whatsoever.

Do I celebrate Christmas? I guess you can say that. A lot of Christians believe that Jesus was born on 12/25, which no one knows. So I celebrate his birthday on 12/25, but I don't believe that's when he was born.

I'm glad that you liked the poem Dream. I really can't say what made me write the poem, to be honest, Grace. Just a lot of times, I write what comes to my mind. Sometimes it's what I dream about.

Wow! Grace, I really liked your poem Mephistopheles and it has a deep meaning. I can see you going somewhere with your poetry, and I really mean that, Grace.

It's a website called createspect. It will cost nothing to publish your book there.

Here is a poem I wrote about two weeks ago that came from one of my dreams. Hope you enjoy it. Merry Christmas.

Bound Hearts
Through the havoc I stand in awe of your unique energy
The dissonance isn't as apparent as water flowing out to sea
Baby, you're deeply loved from my heart with no regret
You're my lady eternally
My love for you is no secret
While a vast multitude stands at your heart's threshold and knock
Unallowed to gain access they'll await in a confused enigmatic shock
Being united we have great potential for our hearts are aligned
Diverse force clashed, they merged causing our love to bind

Well, I will end for now. Hope to hear back from you soon and hope that you and your family have a blessed Christmas and New Year. Take care, keep strong, and I hope to hear from you really soon.

Always a friend,
Jack M. Branch
