Rhyming - Stories

Life is fascinating. It is both joyful and painful and everything in between, but there are lessons to be learned, and yes, treasures to be found. If we ever think we are in control, we are mistaken, but that is the beauty of our journeys. I hope you find something in these poems to give you pause, to make you think, or to make you feel.

I've decided to write these poems focused on emotions I've been feeling throughout time. This will be a collection of poems that allow me to express my feelings while hopefully enlightening others to do as well. My goal is to release a new poem at least once every few weeks. Writing poems allows me to think deeper and longer about my thoughts while communicating with others. I appreciate you all for taking the time to read my poems. I hope you enjoy them!
