Poems »

I grew up in a large family within the confines of a small city. Through my struggles, I learned what I did not want people to suffer (not only abuse, but treatment in general). My life, of 68 years, has been to help others whenever and however it is possible. Financially, that has not been possible. But, my work, and volunteering, has always allowed me to help others. I believe 'Every person, no matter the situation, should know their value is no more, nor any less, than any other person on this earth.'. I strived to help people gain that self-knowledge, as I never had it growing up, or felt confident in it as an adult. My poetry was my one consistent throughout life. But I never felt comfortable sharing it. Poetry, to me, is creativity at its best.
