    About this ebook

    The poetry in this book has been written by me over many years. I once received a book of poetry for a birthday present from an aunt, written in the front cover was I hope you can write poems like these one day. I write to express my feelings when somebody I care about dies and sometimes I just write for the fun of it. A variety of different things inspire me and sometimes these poems just come to me. I hope that you enjoy these poems.


    Belinda Roach is a mother of nine children and has been married for seventeen years. She writes when ideas come to her and she writes for the therapeutic benefits of writing. She enjoys spending time with her family and writes for her children and herself. She spends most of her time with her children and she volunteers her time at her childrens school helping whenever she can. I would like to thank my husband Lloyd Roach for all of his support and love over the years.
