The poems in this book were written over many years as gifts to my children. I began writing them in the 1970s, when they were reaching the age of reason. As I found myself in the position of becoming a single parent, I wanted to do something special to share with them -- something that would become a tradition, a ritual they could count on. And so the Advent Poems began -- one day, decades ago -- with a poem 'gifted' to them each day during the Advent period leading up to Christmas, December 1 to December 24. Nearly fifty yers later, my kids still look forward each year to the "gifted" poems that continue a family tradition, and that new generations have come to cherish. It is my sincere hope that you will embrace and enjoy them and share them with those you love. Children of the Light was among the early poems I wrote, and is included in each of the Poems of Life and Love books in The Ellison Collection: (alphabetically) Awakenings, Beginnings, Celebrations, Choices, Conversations, Gratitude, Happiness, Heartstrings, Horizons, Inspirations, Milestones, Mindfulness, Moments, Possibilities, Reflections, Sanctuary, Sojourns, and Tapestry. After writing many hundreds of poems, Children of the Light is still my favorite. In the process of writing it, the words seemed to spring from my heart, and soul... and flowed so effortlessly that it was written in a single sitting. All I needed to do was capture the words on paper. "Light," to me represents all that is good and pure and right with the world, and I believed then -- as I do today -- that those elements live in my children, and in all of us. We need only to dare...

Carole Ellison began writing poems to her children in the 1970s, when they were reaching the age of reason and as she found herself in the position of becoming a single parent. She felt she needed something special to share with them - something that would become a tradition, something they could always count on...And so her Advent Poems began - one day, decades ago - with a poem each day during the Advent season in December. The poems were accompanied by a little trinket or sweet for them to enjoy. Forty years later... her children still look forward to the annual poems that started a family tradition that new generations have embraced. (Or maybe it's the trinkets they love?)Children of the Light was among the first poems she wrote and it is included in each of the first three books in this collection. After writing hundreds of poems, it is still her favorite. Light, she explains, represented all that was good and pure and right with the world, and she believed then - as she does today - that those elements live in her children ... and perhaps in all of us. We need only to dare... and to reach for it. Tapestry is among the newest gift books in Kathyrn Carole Ellison's Gifts of Love Collection and her other titles include Inspirations, Celebrations, Sojourns, Awakenings, Sanctuary, Gratitude, Milestones, and Heartstrings-as well as new 2020 titles Horizons, Beginnings, Moments.
