"In a perfect world, we would never have a broken heart...but ours is not a perfect world...so I write the words you may never read and share them with those who will understand...until the world is perfect...again."

With our busy lives, with the text message, the email, the cell phone—we communicate at lightening speed, but rarely talk anymore. Technology is an amazing thing, but it cannot touch us in those places deep in our hearts and souls where only another human being can touch us.

In a Perfect World is a compilation of many emotional writings. In these pages, you will see the full range of emotion—from love to hatred, from fear to peace. Every reader will easily find something that can can relate to events in their own lives. The goal of the author is to touch readers in those places in the heart and soul that may not have been touched in a very long time.

From the Back Cover

Take a walk with me Down this street that is in my mind Past the houses, past the sidewalks Past the children's playgrounds and ball parks Walk past all the things you see And wander into my memories

The past, the present, the future All rolled into one event Inside myself I control my destiny Beyond the physical boundaries Into that part deep in my soul Lingering in places only I know

When you read the words Written and meant to be shared You touch this place inside Experience the tears I've cried See the love and anger too The disappointments and dreams come true

I don't write for me And I don't even write for you I write because I'm compelled To share a story I must tell It's not a talent I have been given It is ordained, predetermined I write because I have no choice I write because God gave me the voice

For every heart my words will touch And for my own heart too I write to share compassion I write with fevered passion To show the world the human side Of conflict, anger, pain and pride

This was a fabulous book. I cried all through the first half of it, as I could definitely relate to the emotions in the poetry. I sat and read the whole thing in one sitting!!
