Tears From My Pen

<p>     When I wrote this collection I was dealing with pain grief anger and a sense of loss. Being able to put my pain on paper helped me get through the worst of it.</p><p>     In the early months I used to carry my collection of poems with me like a security blanket so that I could re-read them and re-visit my memories.  It helped me             heal and it better allowed me to let go.</p><p>     You may wonder why I want to share something so deeply personal.  The answer is this: We may not all be able to put our pain on paper.  Perhaps the words won't come or perhaps we do not appreciate how therapeutic written expression can be.  I have already shared "Wings" with several friends over the years because it is so relatable and have seen first-hand how the message can inspire. </p><p>     I hope that you will find among these a poem that strikes a common chord and helps you process your pain and get back to your life. </p>
