Life Poetry

"Tears go with laughter in this collection of memories, as pain lies next to joy, and courage wraps around fears. These contrasts live, holding the other’s hand, finding a balance as we walk, day by day, each in our own way. As I read the poems and stories in this book I found the extraordinary way in which a mother has put one foot in front of the other through her grieving and loss. In the courage she shows and shares so openly we find an avenue into our own hearts. The poems are a reminder of the strength we can find through our own pain and of the beauty to be found in simple things. ...

Life is poetic and poetry is life. Poetry can touch weary soul, inspire, teach, entertain, and heal emotional scars. The gift of poetry transcends understanding and takes the listener and writer to new worlds. Every poet has a unique brand and theme which identifies the poet’s style. Usually, a poet’s prose identifies what style of poetry the poet writes. God has blessed this author with a gift that bears no certain theme or style. Instead, poetry is universal and reaches the masses.

When Louis Pasteur discovered the process of fermentation in the 1870s, he noted that, while most organisms perished from lack of oxygen, some were able to adapt and even thrive as 'life without air'.
