From the Heart

I was born in Frenchville, Maine. A small suburb of Northern Aroostook County, Maine. I am of French decent. I was born September Eleven, Nineteen Thirty-Nine. My Father was a Farmer and my Mother was a Housewife. I have one Sister and three Brothers. We settled in Presque Isle, Maine, where I graduated in Nineteen Fifty-Eight and married the same year. I have Five Children. Wendy, John, Douglas, Lisa and Carrie. I am proud of my children and my eight Grand-Children. I have one beautiful Great-Grandson. I retired from The Travelers Insurance, in Nineteen Eighty-Eight. We moved to Florida, 13 years ago. I always liked writing and putting down my thoughts on paper. I wrote a Poem to my Aunt, whom I love dearly. I wrote her a Poem, telling her how much she meant to me, I named the Poem Touched. After reading the Poem and seeing how it had touched her, that gave me the courage to write more. After that day I continued writing. My Poems are all personal, I get great satisfaction out of writing Poems for family and friends. My favorite one is Katrina. This Poem was written in tribute to the people that lost their lives and to the ones that suffered so from that great tragedy. My hobbies are writing Poems, Cross Stitching, and doing Sudoku Puzzles. I enjoy going out to dinner with my husband of Thirty One years.
