These poems speak of the love, knowledge, and understanding I have learned while facing the countless storms in my life. I have come to see that mistakes have a voice but in order to hear what they are saying you have to be willing to turn down the volume of the world. All of my mistakes have only helped me to find the path to what is right for me. I was taught what life was all about through the struggles of always losing the material things, but never really losing the connection to the people who have or had touched my life.
