    About this ebook

    All these poems represent a part of my life. I have opened a door into my world. I hope the words connect with you in some way. In these pages, I was able to have a voice.

    Every poem is a piece of me. My heart bled with each stroke of the pen. I share my inner thoughts and feelings. This has helped me to heal and look within and realize that every passage in my life has kept me grounded in my faith. It is my greatest hope.

      Music

      A symphony of memories

      A special place long forgotten

      As it takes you back

      Each note a moment in time

      As we reminisce of yesteryear.

      The rhythm of sound

      When we let loose all night long

      Melodies of our heartbeat

      When Dancing cheek to cheek

      Candlelight and Barry White.

      A moonlight serenade

      Love songs we hold dear.
