Sticks and Stones and Small Fish Bones

Sticks and Stones and Small Fish Bones can kill you. Words, however, can never hurt you. They can move you. They can heal you. They can make you love. They can make you cry. They can lift you to the heavens where your spirit flies or lower you to the depths where your soul sees its true self revealed. The poetry within takes you on a journey with words. It's an adventure that will leave you contemplating the past, proud at how far you've come and smiling about the path ahead.

As we reach our highest peak

And see the answers that we seek

We'll see that our soul isn't weak

As we each take hold of our own time.
