    About this ebook

    Do you know of any unmarked graves in the world today? I'm sure if you think about it, you might suspect one or two. Well this collection of poetry is written in such a way as I am sitting under that old oak tree talking to one that is buried there.

    Words are like the blood that courses through my veins. Without words, I would not be who I am today. There were many along the way that said I would never make it, however one I met along the way believed in me enough that he gave me the courage to follow my dreams. My mom, one of my biggest fans and cheerleaders until her last breath, always said I would get here, and here I am! Thank you Mom!  It has not always been easy, but there is nothing in life that is ever easy, and I refuse to give up! So onward and upward!
