The Autobiography of Wayne Helaire: Beauty Will Save the World . . .

By Wayne Helaire

This book is a compilation of poems and short stories. It’s about falling in love at first sight. It’s about a mother that was a true angel on earth and a girl that was a vision of delight. The sound of her laughter is forever etched in my mind. It’s about youth and how hope springs eternal. It’s about many things, but it is truly only about one thing: life in general. It’s about beauty and how beauty will save the world.

Goes

With You…

When I heard

the news

that you

had died,

I simply

sat

and cried

and cried

Lord, Lord

not Glenn,

of all the

news it

could have been,

It struck me

like a lightning

bolt

out of the

clear blue

sky

Lord oh Lord

why; why

did he

have to die..

I may as well

question

the morning dew,

Glenn,

my heart

goes

with you…

A Painting in My Mind

Images of mother

will never

fade away

I can see her

in the sky
