Water envelopes
The dried-out husk of my soul;

“Hope springs eternal.”

Droplets of inspiration
Circle then slide down the drain.

I am a wife, mother of 7, student, and writer. I love to write fiction, poetry, and humorous non-fiction. In my spare time, I love to quilt, read, and drink lots of coffee and oolong tea.
