The Growth of a Girl To The Wisdom of a Woman

There are three sections of this book: youth / first love, nature, and

wisdom. I have always turned to paper and pen when excited, in

wonder, or distressed. I have found that writing down the obtrusive

thoughts frees the mind.



I have chosen poetry as the venue. Hopefully, you too can relate. I hope

that you may glean some insight into yourself and find peace, joy, and

some wisdom.



I may add that some of the poetry is simple and obvious. Others need

to be read more than once. As in a painting, the observer gets out of

it what relates to her. So too in poetry. You may read a poem and feel

something entirely different from why I wrote it. That is just fine. My

purpose was personal. Your purpose could be that the poem stimulates

a remembrance of a time in your life that can be relived. Enjoy.
