~ The Poet's Place Cafe~

I wrote to work through the grief of losing my husband and also my family. I lost my siblings not through death but by their ignorance of getting to know me. I'm bipolar and not afraid to share that side of me. Since my husband's passing, I've grown into a strong woman I have a better relationship with God and our sons. My siblings don't understand why I had to change. One I had to survive in this world alone. I wrote poetry to get past my grief. My first book "Innerlight's Eat and Drink my Words." will be out by Christmas. I have written over a hundred poems since 1980. I came to Writing.Com a novice now I'm a published author. In my book, I wrote about God, my beloved Ed, our sons, nature, and my childhood. I have the whole world to thank because all of you here made me feel welcome. God bless all of you. Good night Gracie *heartr*
