Poetry has been part of most of my adult life. To me, it is there for every person as they experience life.

Only some, however, pause enough to see it and then take the time to write it down. Each person's experiences are also uniquely individualistic. So I hope that at least a few of these poems speak to you and connect with some of your own life experiences and then maybe even bring a smile, a new insight, or a tear. There are seven chapters in this book. I have attempted to slot each poem into one of the chapters that I felt was best matched with the poem. However, in reality, I am sure that some poems could have been seen in more than one chapter. Creative thoughts can't necessarily fit into a nice and simple niche.
