Life in Words

Life in Words is a written description of my experiences and the experiences of others, my faith and dreams, my attempts to reach those in despair, to entertain, to make the reader think, to motivate involvement. There is also humor in a humble attempt to help ease stress and help to adapt to the inevitable. It is written with simplicity and much respect for the reader with a sincere approach to reach and attract those who do not enjoy reading poetry. There is definitely a poem for as many types of individuals I have come in contact all my years, topics like sports, the environment, love, motherhood, fatherhood, painful social issues. This work is the product of a childhood dream that went asleep for decades then materialized in a matter of seconds. I hope it serves as a catalyst in the lives of those who are about to give up or those who have stopped dreaming because of age or obstacles. For those reasons and for just about everything under the sun, Life in Words will speak to the readers as they witness the dream of a little girl and the accomplishment of the woman. It’s never too late when you believe.
