Like Bamboo in the Wind

About the Book

This book includes poems and special thoughts that I’ve written since 1971 to present day. It is filled with genuine words of sentiment, inspiration, faith, hope, love, despair, wisdom, joy and humor. I hope that my readers find positivity and good from my poetry. Dad planted a bamboo tree in front of my childhood home when I was a little girl. This was the inspiration for naming my book. It speaks for itself. We must decide what we need to be or do in this world. We must stand strong…LIKE BAMBOO in the WIND. Keep a pure, happy spirit and enjoy life, because it is but a dot compared to eternity.
