Spiritual Poems
I wrote my first poem a few years after my mother told me the story of the wild primrose that my father picked on Leap Year Day 1980. The root was attached, so my mother planted it in a pot and it flowered indoors, all year round for three years. When my father passed on May 10th 1983, it was planted on his grave.
My parents were the inspiration for my first poem 'The Primrose', and with the sudden passing of my beloved mother on November 11th 2001, I have dedicated all my poems to their memory.
