Shadows of Thought

By Michelle L. De La Garza

Shadows of Thought: A Collection of Poetry provides a glimpse into the emotional life and turmoil of a woman, a wife, a friend, and a mother. At times, the emotions evoked on the page convey a deep sorrow that strums a tender chord of the heart; whereas, other times, the words flow with joy and laughter or touch upon thought-provoking questions regarding the direction of the human condition.

For my daughter, Kristin,

Who inspires me to be more than I am;

My husband, Valdemar,

Who is my guiding light and soulmate;

Sons, Patrick and Joshua,

Who offer a ray of light in the darkness.

This book wouldn’t have been possible without the support and encouragement of the many people who saw me through this wondrous and emerging process. I would like to thank my family for their unwavering support and dedication, and my editor and partner in crime, who always has a word list or two for me.

A Friendship

A friendship takes time to grow.

Trust is something both must know.

For without trust, there cannot be

A friendship that forms open and free.

---

A friend can help you to see.

The person inside you can be.

They’ll lift your spirits when
