Poetry and Life

The poems in this book are full of life, hope, and dreams—past, present, and future of what life is expected to be. As we go through life, many challenges we find ourselves facing with things past, present, and future. Life can throw any obstacles in our way; it’s up to us whether to step over them or just lie down and accept life as it is. My own experience in life taught me that whatever we face, there’s always an answer for everything. Whether we choose to believe it or not, it is totally up to us. As I traveled through life, many challenges I found myself writing my most precious thoughts down, thinking I’ll come back and read them when I want to find comfort or peace within my soul. In the early hours of the morning, when the house is silent and darkness still surrounds me, my most internal thoughts are found dancing in my head, waiting to be led onto paper and stored in a place, thinking that no one will read but myself. Life began to challenge me when I remembered certain events that drove me to write, thinking I’ll store this treasure up under lock and key—no one would find it but me, so I thought.

Journey of Communication

As I began to travel the distance of life set before me, I found that in the early part of my marriage, I would write my husband these long letters of my thoughts because I just wasn’t the type who could hold a conversation well. As I wrote, little did I know that it would lead to such an adventure in my life. In this book of poetry, you will find how a young woman beat the odds of silence and opened up to a whole new life of communication.

Inspiration and Writing

I would start my day each morning reading an inspirational poem to my friend at work from a book. So one day, I decided to give it a try, thinking to myself, I can do this. When I wrote my first poem and let my friends read it, writing began for me then. They were honest enough to let me know how what they read touched their hearts. As people began to read my work, they started asking me to write poems for them on special occasions, and I did so without hesitation. As I wrote for others as well as myself, little did I know that it would lead to this point in my life.

Healing Through Poetry

In this book, you’ll read how friends, loved ones, and everyday people find ways of comfort just by reading words that touch their hearts and send healing. Poetry is writing that releases the soul of man to write about what’s hidden down inside of one’s soul. Yes, we all have hidden treasures just sitting pounding upon our minds, waiting to be released to people who can take it and heal from darkness that they thought light could no longer shine. I take the most internal thoughts of one person and transfer them so that their understanding can be seen more clearly. I know you’re wondering how someone does that. I find it easy just by conversation with them. Remember, I said that it was not something I was good at doing, but now it’s a gift I have found.

The Power of Words

Writing is the most profound reason people write today. I find it to be rewarding and comforting, where peace is found. Taking words and making them dance across the pages sends chills up my spine. I find myself, as I write, hidden inside this world that no one knows but me. I begin to pick, choose, and write words that dance across my page, sending messages to the reader—letting them know that even though we go through many things in life that will carry us to experience sadness, happiness, laughter, and tears, we can still go on and conquer. In this world, the one thing we all hope for is peace for all mankind.

Colors of the Rainbow

In this book of poetry, you’ll find the colors of the rainbow just as God intended it to be—filled with many colors. You’ll find how He took each one and molded them as He saw fit. How the raindrops, clouds, trees, and grass are all here for man to enjoy, not to destroy. In this book, you’ll be taken to places far beyond the thoughts of mankind. How everyday mistakes can be recorded and corrected by the thoughts of man.
