Words in Progress

JB created this collection of poems in the middle of her struggle with missing her mother who had a brain aneurysm. She decided to talk to God, her mother and her daughter in these poems. She wanted to say thank you to her mother and sometimes question her mother, while talking to God, herself and her daughter. The poems are based on the idea that one can not live with out a past, present or future. It took JB 5 years to create these poems as they came to her slowly and painfully through her trials of crying about her deep sense of loss of her mother's full presence in her life, the trials of raising her daughter with her husband and all while still trying to chase her own dreams in life whatever that may be.
