Melody For Claire is a song from the heart--a song from the heart of the author for his beloved wife of thirty-five years while she copes with both cancer and a brain injury, which has affected, in part, her memory and some of her cognitive functions. It's a display of faith and hope, the celebration of a profound love that binds two hearts who have discovered each other and have learned to synchronize their heartbeats in a magnificent harmony. Many will easily relate to My Claire Melody or The Ariane's Thread. Others will find themselves in Douce Lumière or Symbiose. Melody For Claire is unique, different as it presents two components--half in English and the other half in French, the romantic language. It is introduced by a prelude, The Price You Pay For Love, a poem that has been dedicated to the late Queen of England, her Majesty Elizabeth II, at the passing of her husband. Once you read Melody For Claire, the expressions "for better or for worse", "in sickness as in health" will take on new meaning for you. Let this special song find a loving niche in your heart.

The Silent Song displays a collection of poems where the author is showing another step, another level in his quest toward reaching spiritual growth and maturity. In that sense, it can be considered as a complement to what has started in the authors previously published poetry book, Gemstone. The author uses his skills in poetry to depict a rich spiritual life where despite the tests and trials of life, one can keep his composure, tame his spirit and maintain an inner peace. Ones life always speaks louder than just his words. A silent preacher living a righteous and holy life can say more by his actions than an eloquent one that relies mainly on his words to influence people around him. Someone once said, Id rather see a sermon than hear one.In this regard, may The Silent Song be an inspiration to you all.Other publications by Dr. Jol Hilaire include:On the Other Side of the Desk (2005), based on a true storyFantaisie de ma Jeunesse (2011 French poetry)Ye Are the Body of Christ (2017), a medico-theological bookGemstone (2018), poetry
