Throughout my life I've found the strength required to overcome many challenges through poetry. Learning to let go, to hold on, to say yes, to say no, to fail, to succeed. To positively touch one heart, one life, one teenager, one adult, one decision in another’s life; this is my dream. Read with me and share your thoughts. My ultimate goal is to create a book of poetry that includes thoughts and feedback from those that are touched or inspired by my poems.

Moments ©1997
You came to me an
angel with strings
A gentle soul
with broken wings
Asking only that
I help you see
What this world
has come to be
For you couldn’t see
it on your own
So through my eyes
you then were shown
Images of life
so simple yet strange
With each day
my thoughts would change
Like today when I heard
a baby cry
I reached out to hold it
yet didn’t know why
Then the child alone
afraid in the park
I walked her home
before it was dark
Oh but when
I turned away
To me softly
I heard her say
Don’t give up
you must be strong
Never be afraid
to say you were wrong
For never had I looked
at life this way
Learning to live
from day to day
