I've been writing poetry as long as I can remember. My first real song came together for me in 2000, when I was going through some very difficult times. It was several years later, before I was able to play my own music for the things I had written. I am very thankful for it, and it changed my life. I knew music, taught basics to my kids, could tell them what I wanted them to play (for my songs), but I couldn't do it with my own hands! Now, I play the piano for my church, and really enjoy it! I hope to record all of my songs before I die, so that my kids will have a keepsake...
