THE TEARS THAT WATER MY YEARS

""A book of poetry that describes real-life circumstances, feelings, and events throughout the life of a 40-year-old independent woman. Love, loss, grief, change and so much in between. The Girl: The truth is her heart has been crushed more times than anyone reading this could ever fathom, but a girl who gets up every day trying to do the best she can still. A girl who fights so many battles with the corporate world that you never knew about. A girl who will fight to the end, if it's in her heart. A girl who advocates for others, be it the homeless, administration, family, etc. A girl who still smiles when she is sad, in hopes of making someone's day brighter. One who can hardly stand to hurt another's heart, and she has done so. A girl who had to learn the hard way, to find the right way, though it took a while. A girl who is quick to admit when she is wrong, and holds others more accountable than she should. A girl who is often looked over due to her independence and if I'm being honest sometimes sharpness. A girl who is honest to a fault...and forgives but never forgets. A girl who always thinks about "if today is my last day" or "what will I do if.." A girl desperately trying daily to give up control and find peace with trusting God. A girl who wants the world back to a slower pace, and all human species have a heart for others. A girl who is tired, but still loving and smiling, and pressing forward.""
