Having lived in North York for over fifty years, I felt a personal obligation to respond to the April 23, 2018 van attack on Yonge Street the killed 10 people, and injured another 16. This heinous act permanently and directly changed the lives of 26 families. I am known as painter, an industrial designer and a sculptor, but never a poet. Having written less then a handful of poems in my lifetime I suddenly felt inspired.
About 25,000 people attended in a show of support, love and unity.
