This is my fourth and final book on poetry. I was born and raised in Vancouver, B.C, Canada. I am retired and now have the "time" to really relax and grasp the meaning of "living in the moment" and cherish each and every day given. Any spare time I do have is spent reading books, going for my walks, enjoying nature and music. I had not counted on publishing another book, but sometimes 'life' has other ideas. This book you now hold was written during a very difficult period in my life. I was struggling with recovering both emotionally and physically. From these struggles this book was born. You will see many of my poems reflect the challenges I faced and my feelings that ensued. It is my hope that if any of you are facing difficult times...then my poems may help you relate. For those of you that are not faced with life's challenges, then by reading this book, you may be more prepared. Truly my poems were 'inspired' and I hope the poems will leave "footprints" in your heart.
