This is a book of original poetry written along my journey into and through the ups and downs of love. I began this journey when I was a senior in high school, and I have wandered along the paths of hope, joy, laughter, learning, and yearning through all the years thereafter. There have been starry nights, rainy days, and summer breezes where I have looked up, stretched out my arms, and just let love embrace me. These are the lessons of love that I have tried to share in this poetry book. I have always been in love with love, even on the rainy days. The one thing that I have learned of love is that love really is all.
