Too Many Stones to Throw

By Myra Edwina Watkins

Many of the poems in this book, are a collection of writings about "Life and Loves"...lost and found. It covers deep emotional feelings and situations. Some very heart touching and many tender moments. You will appreciate the honesty of the expressions, in what I am trying to convey. It speaks of some things not only of myself, but what many people have dealt with and have experienced. This book covers subjects that many people can certainly relate to and understand, and also, feel deep within themselves. Knowing that you are not alone in the way you may feel, in this occasional chaotic life. Sometimes it can make a difference. There is also a section where I share my family, and little things about them. That way you can get to know a little bit more about me as a person and a writer....

Before I started writing, I used to be an avid reader. I loved the ability of the writers, how they could actually make you feel like you were there. Spy novels, detective stories, and of course, the “Love” stories. I would put myself in the main characters role, as long as things were going good. ~Smile~ I especially loved reading the travel books, because it would take me on an adventure that I could not afford, so I would travel with the writers. The way they would describe the scenes, wow, it was beautiful in my mind’s eye (the pictures always helped too). I have always wanted to become a writer and to be able to display the abilities that those good writers have. To be able to share thoughts and emotions and feelings, in a way that the reader can see and feel what is being conveyed. I would hope that what I put down on paper could be of some events or things that others can relate to and to be able to help many people in various situations. Most all that I write, is true to life stories, written in Poetic form, a little different style of telling a story or an experience, or emotional feelings and inner expressions. This is my 3rd book that I am proud to share with everyone. My writings have taken me now over a span of more than 40 years. I would hope that my name and writings will have a good impact on people and that they enjoy my way of expressing and look forward to what I will be writing next. Yes, I would “Love” to make the “Best Seller List”, as any writer would. But, my passion is to be able to provide good reading to my readers. Hopefully someone will benefit by what I have shared, and what I have experienced, and what I have been feeling. So that one other person will no longer feel alone or isolated in the way they feel or what they have experienced. I myself can still come up with some crazy stuff. I like to share, the good, the bad, and the ugly, because that is “life”. I am working on book 4 now, “A New Dawn Rising”, which I hope will be out before the end of the year. I hope that all will be looking forward to the release of this book. I also hope that all those that have read the previous books, “Too Many Stones To Throw” and “Reality Continued”, will enjoy this one “Sharing Is Caring” and share them with friends and family. Welcome again to my world, and my style of writing and sharing. Blessings and Peace be to you all...Enjoy!

Too Many Stones To Throw

How did I come up with that title?

Years ago I saw an old black and white movie. It was a movie about a young girl living with Sexual, Physical and Emotional Abuse. I remember her eyes. She had big beautiful eyes, but those eyes were telling a very sad story. This young girl suffered many traumas each and every day. It seemed like her little life was just so unfair, no one to rescue her from her inner turmoil and pain. The daily demons were all around her every day.

She did eventually befriend a young guy, which he himself had major issues. He could in many ways relate to the suffering and agony and pain that she was indeed suffering through.

There was a large field with wide open spaces, and rolling hills and valleys, where an old abandoned run down shack stood, with the boards falling off. A place where
