I was numb until I remembered I was loved

The first poem I remember ever writing was for my dad's funeral program in January 1994. I was 7 years old. 30 years later I have been writing poetry as a healing tool to get through and pass life's hardships. It has become my healing my love my passion for the arts spoken through rhyming words and eclectic word play. I am a social worker by day and a poetic sunflower at night. I've always loved the idea of word play and using rhyming words to tell a story. I am that woman that enjoys a good lyricist flow over a nice musical melody and instrumental beat. I am that musical butterfly that feels the music first and then listens next. I am Sunshyne's Rhymes.
