This poem was written in collaboration. Two close friends attempting poetry after a red wine and a discussion on life.

This poem is about an experience of a person who has been through hell.

I'm a member of a 12-Step Program, and I still remember being in the depths of despair, when I had lost all love and all faith. But, there was just a glimmer of hope, and this led to a new life, a fuller live, a more joyful life. I want to share this experience with others, and urge them never to give up hope.

This poem is about acquiring maturity and just doing life.

This poem is about the importance of time, urging all to use time lovingly.

Like many, I have lost many significant people in my life. There have been times sitting at the bedside of someone I love who is dying that I had trouble saying how I feel. I so regret this now. I recently lost my maternal grandmother and was able to tell her I loved her before she passed. I then wrote this.

I am not old, but as I look back upon the life that was given to me thus far, I reflect on visions and experiences that truly define what life is, or is supposed to be. The poem that I have submitted lies very close to me, and I hope that when you read it you can relate to it. I hope you enjoy it.

This poem was written as a response to a friends plea for help. I told him to look inside himself...and that's what this poem is doing. asking anyone who reads it to look inside themselves to find whatever they are searching for.

This poem was inspired by a long bus ride. On this ride I had a lot of time to reflect on who I was, who others saw me as, and how I saw others. I think that this poem is a nice way of looking within yourself to see just who you are. Take some time and look around yourself. Try to appreciate all of it. Everything that you do, or see will change your life in some way. Let it.

This is a poem that was written when my child was taken by his father. I had no control of the situation and was lost. The only comfort to me was my poems.

Used to be a great athlete.. when the real world hits, it's a different life than I ever expected. What do you mean a family Mom?
