My wish is that people will love my poetry as much as I enjoy writing it.  It is a wonderful and positive way to express my thoughts, feelings and emotions.  An avenue that enables us to connect in a unique and special way.  I have a difficult time speaking to others verbally but when I write my communication skills blossom.  I have had a difficult life to say the least.  Having suffered from manic-depression all my life, near-death experiences and illness has brought me to a place of understanding and empathy greater than normal.
