Kathleen's Song of Life (Part 1 ): Stolen Heart

A fun-filled book with layers of life, love, and fantasies. Along with ditties about love, pain, gains, pains, joys, and sorrow. When I was so much younger, I did many foolish things that I desired to take back. Don't regret anything! Soon, I began writing and singing about my emotional state instead of keeping it all inside. It became healing to my mind, body, and my soul. It feels good to let it go and be creative for yourself and someone who may have or be experiencing the same thing yet is afraid to chat about it. Enjoy life, love, and live like there is no tomorrow since life is short; I appreciate every lesson that I endured, yet, I am grateful that I have helped a variety of souls, which keeps these blessings coming my way, Jehovah.

They thought I'd die, but then I survived. I had Scarlet Fever, which appeared never to end and consisted of high fevers every day, along with not being able to walk, but I did not have Polio. My life was dangling on the thinnest thread of hope. Everyone gave up on a two-and-a-half-pound newborn except my mother, who constantly prayed for my well-being. She hoped that I could talk and walk one day and do everyday things like every growing child around me.
