It became a life goal to eventually publish a book of poetry penned by my own hands...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs life took over, my dream was put to one side and only resurfaced when I hit the ripe old age of fifty! Suddenly, the desire bubbled to the surface again and I realised that it was still a passion of mine - and TIME.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven though most of these poems were written many years ago, they still have the power to move me deeply. Some give you access to my darker experiences, but I chose to be vulnerable and to include these as part of the picture. I have survived times of deep sadness, confusion and 'lostness', but in learning how great God is in these times, I have become a happy lady, with a bubbly personality and a cheerful disposition. Who knew that I would turn out like this?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy hope is that the words in this book will speak to you, speak for you, make you laugh, and bring you hope - and perspective. For those struggling with daily life, I've been there too. I can tell you - it DOES get better - with God and with time. Life's journey has been meaty, but beautiful, and I'm a better person for the times of struggle and wilderness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf a poem speaks to you, I'd love to hear about it.
