Early in my life, the written word took on a special meaning to me. It became my way of describing events, people, places, and most of all, feelings. It was also a way to collect old memories and preserve them with the words.
This book contains a collection of such poems and prose. Some are very light in humor. They may poke a little fun at what is transpiring or even at me. All are based on the real happenings that I have encountered along life’s way. Others are more serious. These are the poems that try to capture the feelings surrounding a particular occasion. Some merely just pose questions—questions that may or may not have answers. Nonetheless, all are representative of the dreams and challenges of the writer. As such, some may offer comfort and/or solace, but all will certainly lead the reader to their own understanding.
Capturing the reflections of life is not a simple task. But when the words come from the heart, they are written in a language that all can comprehend. From that which is the most beautiful or joyous, to that which may be the most frightening, we all live by way of our feelings. These are poems about life from the beginnings to its end. Along the way there are a multitude of events that shape our very beings. The poems selected for this book are meant to reflect the feelings we have as we go through life’s journey.
