Growing up is fun when one is growing up with everyone else. There is more to share, and that's what families are able to do -- share. My collection of poems is just that -- a journal of little people growing taller every weekend, it seems, growing into new relationships, but certainly not out of our hearts. Included in this collection are pieces that were written earlier and reflect various situations that came up during my own growing-up years. This may be about politics -- both workplace or national, about short travels to unusual places, about meeting unusual people, or just plain observations. I always believed there is a child in every one of us -- trying to bond with everyone else.
