Keep all special thoughts and memories for lifetimes to come. Share these keepsakes with others to inspire hope and build from the past, which can bridge to the future.

I write to express my thoughts, my feelings. I want people to think.

Poetry is a beautiful way of expressing feelings - happy, sad, angry, caring. It's also a way that we share with other people, to help them with those feelings.

I've gotten books published. I've met famous people that are very nice. I look back and I say, 'Wow. Thank you, God, for giving me this gift. And thank you for helping me to keep going.'

I feel that God has given me a very special opportunity that I should not let go to waste. I use the gift he has given me.

Even though the future seems far away, it is actually beginning right now.
