This book contains poems about the personal friendships past and present in relation to the author's experience of life. It is hoped the reader will gain an insight of her personality, faith and outlook on life. Any life or relationships contains both joy and sadness and indeed both are reflected within these pages. It is hoped that the reader can relate to the individuals in the poems and see similarities in the people they come into contact with everyday. The author has included a letter to a friend who died in tragic circumstances in 2005 and purposely left a blank for the name so the reader can personalise these verses to a loved one they have lost in their own life. The author hopes that the reader will see the hope, faith, love and laughter shine through the depression and darkness the author has seen through her life and take encouragement where it is needed by the reader to cope with their own battles.
