    About this ebook

    Through My Eyes is a compilation of my ups and downs, joys
    and pains, innermost feelings and deepest thoughts. I hope that
    you will enjoy going on this emotional journey with me as I
    touch on various topics including love, money, gossip, and self
    worth. My poetry is a reflection of my life experiences. Some
    of my poems come from my humorous side, and some come
    from my spiritual side. There are even some that come from
    my raw and sensual side, but ALL of my poems come from the heart.
    ________________________________________________________________

    Dionne Oakley was born and raised in St. Louis, Mo. After
    high school she obtained a license in cosmetology, but she has
    always held a passion for writing (and the arts). Now married and
    the mother of one beautiful daughter, Dionne is in her prime.
    Blessed with several gifts from the Almighty, her biggest talent
    seems for the moment to come in her poetic writings. She can
    easily put pen to paper and her message flows with a rhythm
    all its own. She has shared her poems with her church, family
    and friends. Now shes ready to share them with the world.
    Sample these and see if they are to your liking. I wouldnt be surprised if youll want more.

      Letters to Mum

      Mar 24, 2021

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      Yours is the first face I saw when I came into the world. At first, I was scared. It was so cold and bright. But then I heard your voice. I remembered it immediately — warm, deep and comforting. I didn’t expect you to be so big. My whole body fits in
