I wrote these poems to express my feelings. However, they soon became an emotional journey of enlightenment that helped me discover myself and how I saw life. Through my poetry I wanted to show how we can help others and also appreciate those who help us and those whose love we share. My biggest inspiration was the love of my family and God and a desire to show that by acts of kindness and love we can help to improve other people's lives by following God's simple way of living, something I only recently discovered and which transformed the way I see life. Love is......... Love is when you share One heart One soul One mind It is a promise of a loving kind The kind that lets them all run free To find their dreams and liberty And while pursuing all of this A seal is made with a kiss
