When You Thought I Wasn't Looking


Book Description

Mary Rita Schilke Korzan wrote a poem to her mother 24 years ago, thanking her for all she had done as a mother, friend, and role model. She gave the poem to her mother and, a few months later, offered it as a tribute when Mary and her husband were married. So many wedding guests asked for a copy that Mary included one in her thank-you notes.Then began the strange and heartwarming journey of Mary's poem to her mom. Friends passed it on to those they knew. A minister in her hometown couldn't recall who gave it to him, but he included the by-then "anonymously written" poem in his book about loving others. Another author picked it up from there for her compilation of heartfelt works, and Mary finally noticed her poem, now listed as "Author Unknown," in A Fourth Course of Chicken Soup for the Soul, which her husband and children gave her as a Mother's Day gift.With this new book, readers have the chance to experience When You Thought I Wasn't Looking in its entirety and from its creator. This is the special kind of book that reminds us that sometimes the little things we do "just because" mean more to someone than we can ever know. Those little things teach love, compassion, and understanding. In other words, they're priceless. This sweet gift book brings that lesson home to the heart.

Whispers of Rohingya


Book Description

To another side, we somehow did steer, Relieved beating hearts, banishing all fear. Yet lost in uncertainty, where do we tread? Landed, drenched souls, on an unknown spread. No sand 'neath our feet, no sky's gentle veil, Chests heavy with tears, a heartrending tale. Seeking refuge and shelter, where to remain? On the shores of Bangal, we face life's harsh rain. Stripped of our homes, we flee to the unknown, A shelter to find, hearts heavy as stone. Upon Bangal's coast, with only clothes on our frame, This journey of hope, we'll eternally claim.
