Jasmine's Wish Fulfilled
In 2011, I found myself traveling down a road I never dreamed I would. I have written poetry as long as I can remember. I write whatever comes into my head. All feelings, all problems faced directly. Some were based on personal experiences, others just on observations of the world. I usually write in the first person, so no one would feel targeted should they happen upon one of my notebooks and read a poem. I wanted everyone to know they were not alone, even if I would not let them see my words. Because of one teacher, rarely would I let anyone outside of my immediate family see my scribbles. My daughter, Jasmine did send one of my poems out for a contest. When it was selected to be published, she felt she had proof my poems should be in a book. I let her send them off and when no response was ever received, I declared the proof on my side. She read every thing I wrote and never stopped encouraging me to put them out into the world. But, I never let her talk me into sharing again.
