I hope this little collection of poems will move you, inspire you, make you smile, perhaps shed a tear; they are about real life and death, sweetness and sorrow, joy and anguish... I have always loved words and found solace and meaning in poetry. These poems are deeply personal, yet contain universal truths and emotions with which I hope many of you 'Women of a Certain Age' may identify. If there is a message, it's very simple: Love life, Love yourself, Love one another. Lis x
