This book of poems are motivational writings that represent my inner most thoughts. The stimulus behind the writing of the poems came after six months of chemotherapy treatments, and eight weeks of radiation to rid my mêlée with breast cancer. This entire state of affairs all began with a little bird coming to my window for weeks prior to my findings. Comparatively, I believe this bird saved my life.
