Written with Her in Mind.
Some of the poems that I wrote were written from my understanding of what I perceived to be in the hearts of hurting children. This was usually the case in my poetry book Fantasy/Controversy or My Reality. In Alfred Lord Tennyson’s Poem (In Memoriam) he wrote: I hold it true, Whate’er befall, I feel it! When I sorrow most, It is better to have loved and lost than never loving at all. I can totally identify with those words for when I am grieved that I write, or cease to produce. I wrote as I carried my children’s grief and as I remembered my own loss from the past. At times, I refrain from writing and hide my pain for the sake of my children. On occasion, I desist because the situation may be extremely troubling to show. This has been the case for the last few days
