Splashes Through Life

By Xlibris US

Splashes through Life, is a soulful search of a young girl and her progression
through the different stages of life. She has journeyed far with no sense of direction
and awakens from her cocoon late in life. Just like a butterfl y emerges the young
girl stops to recall the splashes of her life that she now remembers. These memories
have allowed her to express her feelings through her poetry while gaining a sense
of peace, tranquility and direction in her life. It is my sincere hope and desire that
this anthology of poems will touch the reader in a most positive way as it has
done for the author.
