About the Book

This book of poetry that was inspired by Melania Trump covers various subjects. Some of the poems are somewhat political in nature; some poems deal with self-esteem issues and poor self-image, and, of course, love. It''s a rather unusual compilation because it was written by a poet who never met Mrs. Trump, but one who has admired her from a distance.

The Challenges of Being The First Lady

Being The First Lady of any president can be extremely difficult and emotionally taxing, especially due to the vitriolic nature of politics. I think Mrs. Trump may have fared worse than most First Ladies because she is married to Donald Trump, a man who has dramatically upset the Washington, D.C. apple cart; I think most civil people would agree that this isn''t quite fair, but it is a price she has paid.

The Purpose of This Book

My primary objective in writing this book was to alert people to their own personal vulnerabilities and to exhort people not to judge one another for any reason, especially those they disagree with. As trite as it sounds, love is the answer, and we ought to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.
