This is a poem my mother wrote. It was written in a book of poems she wrote a long time ago. It was my favorite poem in the book and i have already pursuaded her to send it to a few publishers and it is now published in 2 books. I hope you all enjoy is as much as i do.


~*Dreams*~

Find a place amongst the trees
To choose now, should I die
And let the wind speak softly
Like a whisper from the sky.
Find a mountain tall enough
To protect and never cease
And I will live so easily
In this place where I've found peace.
ANd let the thunder give commands
Should the birds and mammals hear
So when the sunshine turns to rain
It will not bring them fear.
Steadily, the snow will fall
And the seasons come and go
The weeds will grow like wild fire
Like dreams of long ago....
And my soul will search no longer
The rainbow's at the end
And the sweet desire of reality
Will bring me home again...

Please respond and tell me what you think. My mom doesn't realize how talented she really is.

I think this is wonderfully written. She should be very proud of herself. The flow is smooth and the imagery is vivid. I can see why this has been published.

This is most definitely worthy of publishing...very vivid and beautiful. Your mother has a wonderful talent.
