A Gift Worth Remembering
What gifts from Christmas do you really remember?
Twas the night before Christmas
And everything was in order
The decorations are all hanging
Waiting for Santa to show up and leave us his presents
Been a good girl or boy the excitement is bubbling
Wanting the sun to show its face and reveal everything left under the tree
A present for me and a present for you
The excitement of Christmas seems to grow dim as we grow old
The magic of the day all fades away
What's left is the stress of all that is for us to do
A few days later and the celebration is over
There is not much left for us to remember
The presents are gone and the decorations away
Even in our rush and excitement, we are so easy to forget
But the one gift that lasts forever is the reason for it all
A gift that was given not just to the good boys and girls
It's a gift worth remembering not just on Christmas day
The gift of life through the birth of Christ
Even if we choose not to celebrate the gift is here for you to choose

Poetry: What Is It?
**Poetry: What Is It?** Have you ever wondered what makes a poem a poem? Poetry is a vast and diverse genre of writing, making it challenging to pin down a single definition. Essentially, poetry is a form of imaginative writing. People compose poems to creatively express thoughts and feelings about various subjects. The aim of poetry is to captivate the reader’s imagination or evoke specific emotional responses.

Can You Drive a Ford Fiesta Through a Desert?
I’m flying down the B1 highway from Windhoek to Keetmanshoop with a map and a boot full of camping gear. I’m excited for the first stop of my Namibian road trip: the Quiver Tree Forest. I spot the sign and turn onto the C17, off the tarmac and onto the gravel. I’ll be there soon; it’s only ten miles or so. I am unprepared for what comes next. The car slides and slips across the road. I am not fully in control anymore. I slow to a crawl. The car judders and shudders, the noise deafening, the vibrations rattling the teeth in my skull. It takes me around an hour to drive the ten miles. I arrive at the campsite relieved to be in one piece, even if it feels like all my bones have been shaken slightly out of place. I will later learn that this is what happens when the gravel road becomes “corrugated”, and that the roads authority goes round once a week to “grade” them. Seems I arrived about 6 days after the grader had last been round.
