What to Keep

<p><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>What to Keep </em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>is a collection of keen observations: choices made minor regrets small successes and questions asked. There aren't always answers to the questions but the poems in this collection explore the particular things and experiences that lead us to them. Readers are invited into the poet-speaker's musings about childhood of family of companionship and of loss. We follow the speaker as she walks through time: capturing minnows high school crushes and college mistakes marriage the deaths of parents and finally a note of hope for the future whatever it may have in store. In the end what to keep becomes what remains what is precious and what forms the foundation of a life filled with joy sorrow and finally of contentment.</span></p><p></p>
