I’ve been talking about love lately. My very first poem was about love and relationships. I didn’t know if it was any good because it was my first one. I was afraid to share it with anyone. One day I showed it to a friend and she showed it to her 16 year old daughter who was half my age and she totaly related to it. But I still hadn’t receive strokes from an adult.

After a while I started sharing it when I met someone who was confused about their relationship and my confidence started to build. Now I have shared it at many poetry readings and with hundreds of different people throughout the years. I also used it as an inspiration for February’s Letters on Life, Come from Love, publication.

I have received much positive feedback throughout the years for this poem and many people have wanted a copy… and just think if my friend’s daughter didn’t give me such positive feedback I might not have shared it with anybody and just stored it away…might have even thrown it away. So we never know when we have a positive influence on someone and in what ways we can be supported.
