JOURNEYS OF THE HEART AND DEDICATION POEMS

About the Book

JOURNEYS OF THE HEART AND DEDICATION POEMS reflect my journeys through my life, both sad and happy times. The book is divided into two parts because the second part “Dedication Poems” is especially dedicated to the special people who have touched my life. Most of the poems, in both sections were written in college. However, the newer poems in both sections reflect the importance of my current relationships and how, now, I have a true sense of peace in my life.
