Being born on April 18,1966 in Elizabeth, New Jersey- I am the defender of the underdog. I write poems about the planet like saving the plant kingdom, our oceans, and wildlife and spirituality. Being 4th generation First Nations of Canada. I have an affinity to the Gaia –Mother Earth and her creatures.
Christina Sunrise is one of my alias’s. Christina means follower of Christ. I write about Jesus and his word and life. I wrote a poem entitled “When Jesus Spoke” and it is on www.poemhunter.com. Sunrise in Slavic is Zaria and means “Morning Star”. I wrote a poem that praises our Earth’s morning star in “We Praise You Mother Earth and Sister Sun”. I come from Slavic descent and one of my cartoon characters names is Suzaria and she has her own solar system named after her. I have written poems to help to make a change in people’s thinking, for I feel we are all change agents.
Below is a poem about the poet named Christina Sunrise. I hope you enjoy this poem and the one that follow in this anthology.

Have you ever contemplated about a tree?
How strong, beautiful and sturdy?

...
In NYC where the buildings are tall,
so much to do, no time for it all.
