A Life of Reflections

This book is a collection of observations and life experiences – some happy, some sad, some good, and some difficult.

The poems offer a glimpse into moments that many readers may find relatable, sparking inspiration to reflect on and perhaps even write about their own life experiences. Some poems provide comfort and help in coming to terms with life’s challenges, while others encourage deeper thought. Whether touching on sadness, joy, humour, or personal truth, each poem tells a story.

Writing poetry is something I have done for most of my life, but writing it down makes me feel better.
