The Music of the Heart : A collection of poems of encouragement

"The Music of the Heart" is a collection of poetry written over a period of thirty years. Many of them resulted from conversations I had with myself or surfaced during periods of relaxation and sleep. Some were inspired by my grandaughters as I observed their young lives evolving. Like a personal diary, these poems serve as a reminder of my own idenity and awareness. The human mind is a powerful and amazing gift but it can easily be led astray from the truth without the proper guidance which must be centered in the heart. Learning is a process which requires much discipline, focus and trial and error. It is with hope that some of the ideas conveyed in these poems will open other hearts and bring strength and encouragement.
