    About this ebook

    Today I write to say thank you to my family and friends, the people I have met on my journey, and the angels and spirits that wake me in the night and put all these words in my head. I am sure that you will see or think they sound like poetry from the past. I am only a vessel writing in todays language for this generation to understand. My message is for you to enjoy life and love one another.

    Her stage was a sheet hanging over a clothesline, where she would direct her play for family and neighbors. She was only six or seven years old then. She had the art gift and went on to become president of art and sketch club in high school. She married young and studied old masters’ ways of painting portraits of family and children. She became a widow in her thirties and had to support her children, so she learned floristry and had started writing poems to and for everyone. She hopes they will be enjoyed because they are simply true to life.
