I am a poet, writer and author, a wife, mother and grandmother
. . . a sister and friend . . . I am a woman! All these roles aside,
beneath everything else, I am a human being who inhabits
planet earth in this time and space along with you.
I have dreams and hopes for our species,
longings for our children and the earth they'll inherit,
and a passion for freedom and human dignity.
I write because the sand is running quick through the funnel
and the bridge at the end of the road gets closer every day.
My heart is an open book, scribbled on pages for you to read.
Hopefully, my poems and words will touch you and add to your life.
That is my wish and my blessing.
**** Member of the Academy of American Poets and the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.
