New Life<br />

Donna Walrath<br />

New born fawn.<br />

Cold.<br />

Teeth chattering.<br />

Huddles against tall sturdy maple for warmth.<br />

Cries tears.<br />

Mama hears.<br />

come to take her baby home.<br />

Journey ends.<br />

My Eyes Are on You<br />

Christina Gristwood<br />

Mixed Media on Paper<br />

18 ½” x 24”<br />

Donna Walrath, 61, started writing poetry in 2004,<br />

but has been writing stories since she was young.<br />

She attends a writer’s workshop twice a month<br />

and finds writing helps her manage her depression<br />

and anxiety. New Life reflects the safety found in a<br />

mother’s love. Previously in <strong>UNIQUE</strong> 2011<br />

Christina Gristwood is 42 and the mother of five<br />

kids. She finds creating art makes her feel happy<br />

and like she can do something worthwhile after<br />

her accident. My Eyes Are on You is a watercolor<br />

impression. Even if you cannot see the owl, it is<br />

keeping an eye on you. First year in <strong>UNIQUE</strong><br />
