I have always had a positive vision about how the world should be, and life in general. I just try to express it in words, so that everyone can relate to how I feel. Most of the poems in this book apply to everyday existence. My twenty-one-year-old son is autistic. I have two other sons who are not autistic. I wrote aMy Dreama when my autistic son was five years old. I continued writing poetry for the next sixteen years. This book is dedicated to my mother and grandmother who both inspired me to keep-on-keeping-on, believe in myself, and reach for the stars!
