Introduction

I want to thank my family who inspires my feelings,

even when not fully understanding them.

I am who I am because of all of you.

To my husband, Jim - I love you.

You inspire me!

(No they are not all about you! They're not even all about me.)

To anyone who does not like poetry, but loves music..these are my songs.

Read my words, hum a tune and mere poetry may become beautiful music...
