    About this ebook

    Through Painted Words is a poetic journey into the heart and mind of Coralia Vallas. As she struggles through the pain of the loss of loved ones, she will gently take your hand. She will offer you a glimmer of hope within the bleak dark valleys of life until you ultimately find your own place of refuge. Her poetry releases both tragedy and sorrow, tempered by forgiveness and love, as she awakens the dawn of healing within you. Eloquently, she constructs each poem, as a beautiful thread in the majestic colorful tapestry of emotions, until you discover the passion and strength within your own heart to continue your own personal journey.

      The Proverbial Child

      This book is dedicated to

      My Father

      Thank you

      This book is a collection of words written through many seasons of my life. I would like to thank those that stood by me and endured my seasons of change

      This poem is for all of you

      Whispers of delight dance in my mind

      Shadows pass through the hands of time

      You stood by me through night, through day

      Encouraging hope along the way

      You did not judge, you took my hand

      Whispering of love, when I could not stand

      Laughing together you wiped my tears

      Standing by me throughout the years

      You taught me to laugh and poke fun at myself

      When lost in my thoughts and quiet as a mouse

      You lifted me from the depths of despair

      Simply by being you and always being there

      When I stumbled and fell into the abyss

      You came to me, even some with a kiss

      You taught me to
