My Life, My Love
You are my miracle
My dream come true
A wish fulfilled
You are my heart
Beating outside of my body
You were wanted more than you could ever know
And make me prouder
Than you’ll ever realize
You are mine
My baby, my son

I live in Poughkeepsie, NY with my husband and 2 year old son. I have been writing for almost 30 years, and have taught at both the high school and college level. Looking forward to getting my creative juices flowing with this marathon!
9 am Poem
The Peace of Nature
I listen to the birds’ calls
Telling them my worries
Letting them carry them away
I feel the grass beneath me
Taking comfort as it tickles my feet
I smell the flowers
Letting sweet overtake the sour
I see the sun rise
Its fiery red signaling a hopeful new day
I taste the salty tears as they flow
Releasing the pain to nature
Introduction
This is my first year doing the marathon and I’m really excited! Looking forward to letting those creative juices flow and being inspired!!
