She is the keeper of things great and small
giggles and hugs, she keeps them all.
The good times and tough times cannot hide
for deep in her heart is where they reside.
The kisses you placed all over her cheeks
and the ones blown from your hand, she was sure to keep.
She grabbed them for later and hid them away
to warm her heart, on every rainy day.
Her memories are tucked safe in their place
and bring her immense joy, upon seeing the face;
Of the one she gave life and unconditional love
that is her blessing, sent from above.
Yes, she is the keeper, an angel with wings
for your mother has a pocket, for everything.

My soul’s desire has always been to create something from nothing. To sit with a blank screen and craft my stories, poetry and anything that tickles my fancy, from my own unique point of view.
As I thought about what I wanted to create and how I would present it to the world, I decided this site was a platform where I could share my musings and talents. My desire is to connect with others who share my affinity for everyday humor, while navigating through life’s joys and challenges.
I am not a professional writer but I am interested in sharing my inspirations and craziness that is my life as a wannabe writer, poet, storyteller, student, mother, wife, sister, daughter and friend.
My hope is that in sharing my unique perspective on my own experiences, I will in turn touch someone’s life; whether through laughter or tears.
We are all the same, seeking connections and a place to fit in. I welcome all to be inspired and to be inspiring.
