A Compendium of Poetry and Prose

About the Book

This is a book about poetry and prose that I have written since the time I was sixteen years old to the present time. The writings are about things in this wonderful world that I have experienced, including nature, animals, holidays that we hold dear, and people whom I have encountered during my lifetime as a woman—family members (parents, spouse, children, grandchildren) and those who help me get through the difficulties of life. Many thoughts for poetry and prose have inspired me to share my thoughts for everyone. I hope that all of you who read this will feel the blessings of living in such a world surrounded by our everyday sharing and thankfulness for being a small part yet not being aware of a very significant impact on our immediate family and other people.
