Love and laughter, loss and pain, anger and frustration - all of these emotions you will find in this small collection of poems and song lyrics.

They are a reflection of how I felt at the time. From miscarriage in my twenties to losing my last chomping tooth in my eighties and bits and pieces from the intervening years - they are all here.
