    About this ebook

    These are poems from my youth, written from the time I was a geeky teenager to a 20-something, single parent. I went from not knowing anything about love to being in love, losing it and then reinventing myself to accept love again.

    All women have gone through their share of love and heartbreak and that's why I've dedicated this book to all of us. Join me insharing the pain of yesterdays and hopes for tomorrows.

      To All Women

      Who are in love, have been in love,

      were hurt by love,

      and those of us who are still

      Searching for Love

      I. Friendship 

      Be My Friend 

      As we talk can you see my heart through my eyes

      As you listen do you hear the love in my words

      Can you tell how I feel when we are kissing

      Hold me close to your heart

      Be my friend.

      Do you know my heart breaks when you are sad

      Do you understand my words of admiration

      When we joke, play, and talk about the day

      Hold me close to your heart

      Be my friend.

      And if someday a strong bond should come from this

      Open up, don’t be afraid to let me in

      I’ll give all the love I have inside of me

      ‘Cause my heart is crying out for thee.

      Please remember all the words that I have written

      Cherish the love I’ve expressed in every line

      But for now the only thing I’ll ask of you is

      Hold me close to your heart

      Be my friend.

      Kindred Spirits 

      Come with me

      And fill my void

      As I wish to fill yours

      My need for you

      Surpasses all others

      We are both loners

      Who love the peace of communing with oneself

      And appreciate the way the outdoors

      Make us feel closer to ourselves

      Closer to the Almighty

      We love the simple things money can’t buy
