Poem Therapy

About the Book

This collection started off as simple, honest love poems, from silly to serious, from happy to sad, and from loving to angry. These poems express the full range of emotions, shared between two lovers. These poems document their relationship with each other and their children over the last eight years. They also express the happiness and joy felt by a widowed father as he watches and encourages his children as they develop and become responsible adults. This collection grew to encompass all phases of his relationship with family, friends and volunteer activities. It truly has therapeutic value, both in writing the poems and reading them. Her Story; She was such a strong child for her young years, The night she left us her eyes were full of tears. She honored her mother with words so dear, To everyone's eyes in church she brought a tear. She told a story of love, hope and life, She told a story I'll remember about my dear wife. She told a story of the places she had been, She told a story of the places she would go, amen. She told a story about her mother dear, She told a story I was so glad to hear. My daughter went on to Wellesley and is now at Brown, She's doing medical research in that far away town. She's setting her goals so very high, I know what she's doing, I know why. She won't forget to laugh and love, I know her inspiration comes from above. She's continuing her quest and living her dreams, Because anything is possible, no matter how hard it seems. Making friends, learning and having some fun, The world will be much better before she is done. Look up at the sky with a little smile, It hasn't been too long a while. Remembering those special moments so very dear, Remembering she'll always be so very near. Love dad
