I have shared my poems with a very select few of my friends and it was their encouragement that pushed me to publish my thoughts. I feel that writing has led me to hope and hope has such a cumulative effect in all of our lives. My writing is extracted from life experiences that are common to all of us. So take a breath and say it's never too late to nurture your spirit, that's what my poems have done for me, I hope they do the same for you.
