About the Book

Poems from My Heart I look back over the years that have passed. So many things have happened since I graduated high school. The friends I always hung out with have drifted apart but we keep in touch from time to time. People like me have grown up and learnt from mistakes. Like thinking I found true love and married my true love but found out down the road that it was a big mistake. The saying is we always learn from our mistakes. And that was exactly what I’ve done I learned that true love is out there we just have to be patient and wait for it to happen and not rush into it and make it happen. Patience is a virtue someone close to me once told me that growing up. And if you believe you can achieve your dreams in life. That person close to my heart was my grandmother Rometta Miller she was a lady full of passion and her soul was always full of life. My grandmother always loved to hear my latest writings she would just sit there and tell me to tell her another one of my tales. She passed away unexpectedly last July and that is what inspired me to start back up with my writing. I am the type of woman that rather than speaking her mind I write it down so others can read what I’m feeling. And that is part of the reasons why I write. I love to write poetry so others can be astonished and get to guess what mood I’m in when I write these poems. Many people have their own special gifts some are artist that can draw others are people who can pick up a guitar and play the blues. Me I’m just ordinary plain Jane you give me a pen and paper and I can write down something that can catch your eye and maybe make you cry. I’m not some famous person I don’t come from inheritance I’m just some person full of imagination and I love to write my word down for others to read. Some people may like it some may not but that doesn’t bother me. Because I am who I am and not somebody who wants me to be different. So in this book you will go on an adventure of different days of my life and I hope you will enjoy these poems that come from my heart.
