'Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you have decided to look beyond the imperfections.' ~ Author Unknown

I have been through many struggles and hardships, but yet I have survived. I feel my best poems have come into being after some of my most tragic and painful moments.

'Our sweetest songs are those that tell of the saddest thoughts.' ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley

As I review my poems, I find that the best ones are those which speak of my deepest pain and tragedy. Those gut-wrenching moments are the ones that even today speak of my truest feelings and ponderings. If anything good came of those heartbreaking moments, it was the beautiful words I have written which tell of my pain.

'Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain.'


Things could be different
But that'd be a shame, 'cause
I'm the one who can feel the sun
Right in the pouring rain
~Lou Gramm, 'Midnight Blue'

Even though there have been dark moments of despair, I always kept my hope and prayed for the sunshine of a greater tomorrow. I believe that although you may lose those you love, you are never really separated from them, as long as your love and rememberances of them remain strong in the depths of your heart. Love is eternal, and it stays with you always, even after the music has gone.

'What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.' Helen Keller
