    About this ebook

    These poems represent the ebbs and flows of my life as I have changed and grown. The differences in styles and contents mirror the different paths encountered during my life’s journey. I offer them to you, the reader, hopeful that they may touch a thought or feeling within you. Poetry is the song of life and the heart of beauty.
