Threads of My Life is a collection of poetry that embraces my inner directions, my family’s histories, and the poetic path we are all on. These poems represent my view of the world within my heart. Many of the stories within are my own personal journeys to self and my acceptance of things that I cannot change. I use threads as a means of communication, telling a story, just like my grandfather did so many years ago when he shared his life story. In my grandfather’s words, here’s the poem titled 'A Well-Worn Thread':Some truths were staged and given their place,Yet these priceless dribbles set the storied pace.Uphill he walked to school each day,Uphill to home and back the same way,In knee deep snow, barefooted tooEvery day was different, every challenge new.Fabled imaginings from a well-worn threadHe made us laugh for the words he said.My father’s early death and my grandfather’s storytelling were major factors that inspired my voice to be heard.
