I met him everyday in the park. He hailed me, “Hello young friend, you’re on time.” We’d have coffee together sometimes. Today I hailed him. He asked, “Have we met?”
As I walked away, his daughter came up. “He’s got Alzheimer’s. He forgets me sometimes too.” A tear fell. His life would end without memories.

Poetry & writing to me are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
