An op-ed by Donna Williams

Here&#8217;s a little Christmas poem Donna Williams put together last year, featuring some of her paintings.
The accompanying music is called Is He Home, which belongs to one of Donna&#8217;s songs of the same name. It&#8217;s played here by a pianist named David Moscoe.
