As a young child she would lie down on the grass and study the cloud formations and eventually fi nd one that would become a character in a story she would make up in her mind. As time went on, she began forming little poems about various clouds that went drift ing by in the sky. Her talent was fi nally recognized by a teacher when she was 10 years old. It grew until she was repeatedly being asked to write a poem about a specific topic, or special occasion or holiday coming up. Most of Tinas Tender Thoughts were written for a child or grandchild, but often the recipient would be a coworker or friend who was experiencing something unusual in their life or just her own personal inspirations. This very heartwarming collection of poems written by Tina is sure to bring smiles, chuckles, and maybe even tears to your eyes.view less
