From the Heart

Somewhere upon these pages you will find a piece of your own life. There are poems that will touch your heart, make you laugh, and make you cry. This is a book of inspirational and spiritual poetry, including several inspirational short stories that are written to touch the heart. The 92 poems are based on the journey through life, which includes everything from love to growth, to very soul touching expressions which possibly everyone encounters along the way through the journey of life. The poems are written on love, on family, on finding oneself, and some humor to ease the way of life, also included are Christmas poems that are sure to touch the heart. The 5 short stories are based on personal experience, to the fantasy of what may have been. The imagination and inspiration hopefully will lead one down a path of discovery to understanding. My motto is 'to make people think', which has led me from iinspiration to poetry, to bring hope and faith to those, who like me, are searching for answers to life's questions. To touch one life so deeply that transformations occurs along the way is the greatest success one can attain. To me, a poem is not a poem unless it can convey a message to the reader, a message so heartfelt that it touches a heart almost immediately.
