I hope in these pages you find comfort. I trust in these poems you find words to capture your feelings of joy or sorrow, of love whether lost or forever, and of the mystery of both the now and the tomorrow. I dedicate this anthology to all those who have inspired me, and believed in me, most importantly of whom is my mother, who reminds me every day that I am capable of achieving my dreams. May these poems unite us and remind us, that no matter how dark a night becomes, the sun will always rise, and the morning light will always bring the hope of a new tomorrow.
