Our 41st Year
Memories of the Heart is a collection of poems written by children, grandchildren, foster children, my husband and myself.
I enjoy writing poems that tell a story and at the end gives the reader something to think about. Many of my poems are written from my deep inter feelings or experiences.
I often wake up in the morning going through the house making up songs, rhyming and “trying to sing,” when an idea just pops in my head. Of course the end results turns out completely different, but it keeps my mind creating.
