This book is a written testament to the power of love, faith, hope, and strength. It details the life and death of a woman named Snowe (my mother) who came as close to being an angel as possible. And a veteran of WW II who fought in the war as a Navy man. He also fought the demon of mental illness, and eventually won both battles. He was my father Earl who is my hero. It also tells about their family life, too. They both were the generation who saved the world from the evil of Nazism and the tyrant called Hitler. And they also suffered through the Depression. Both, especially my mother, were Christians with a strong faith that helped them through difficulties and hardships, and gave them joy and love all during their lifetime. And now, their love is eternal. Even in death, it continues for each other and their loving Savior Jesus Christ and his Father.

Inspirational Poetry and Rhyming Stories for adults both young and old

This is an inspiring story about the life of Kristin Michelle Beaucher, how she touched thousands of lives, all of the pain and suffering she overcame, and how her faith in God only grew stronger. Losing her battle with cancer at the early age of nine never changed the person she was or made her lose sight of what she wanted to accomplish. Kristin was diagnosed with medduloblastoma (brain cancer) at the young age of two and a half. She dealt with more pain and suffering than many adults will endure in their entire life. Kristin overcame every obstacle in her path and every problem that came her way with a smile on her face and love pouring from her heart. Kristin was truly an angel, a gift from God himself, who changed the lives of everyone she met, sometimes without even saying a word. She gave when she had nothing left to give, and her legacy lives on through each and every one of us who had the honor of knowing her. “I have cancer so that I can be the one to prove to everybody that God can create miracles.” This is my daughter, and she gave her life to save mine. I promised Kristin that I would live every day as she did, to do my very best, and to make her as proud of me as I was of her. I know I will never be able to even come close, but Kristin never gave up. How in the world could I? Sweetie, you will always be my baby, my angel, and my hero!

The Heart Of A Mother Mothers are our first heros from birth. They did an incredible deed by just that. Keeping us. They could have got rid of us before we were even a person. Before we could even develop. But they didn't. No matter what the situation was at home they chose to keep us. To raise us. To love us. Take care of us. All through the struggles and dramas that life brings along every single day. So for once let's just say something like this: Mama,mom, mommy and Mother. I love and respect you. Thank you for everything you've given me. You gave me so much. Life is the first. And love is the second. Care is the third. So much more follows. Because there is so many things you've done for me. So many. And I am grateful for everything. Even though sometimes I won't seem it. Sometimes I'll be a burden. I'll scream at you, I'll say a whole lot of things that you won't appreciate because I'm still young. But as time progresses I'll grow. I want you to know that I love you. My angel. My hero...my superwoman, my everything good in my life. And I'm not just talking about just biological moms. I'm talking about the one who raised you. The one who had and still has to listen to your whining and complaining. The one who disciplines you everytime you do something wrong but always stands up for you everytime something wrong is being done to you. That's your mom. A mom who loves and adores you even though you're full of mistakes and you're just a brat sometimes. Your mother. It doesn't even really have to be female. A mom is someone who has the heart of a mother.

My name is Kristina Gockenbach and I am a poet. I have faced a lot in my life and through it all I become a survivor and fighter. I learned a lot along my journey thus far and in doing so I found writing. I had finally found a way to express myself and it become my career choice as well as my life. I believe this book to be very relatable to the different generations. I think the people who read my work will find it touching and a welcoming read, because my poetry is designed to be relatable, imaginary and full of emotion based on the everyday struggles one must face. Everything from heartbreak, family, love, and sadness is touched upon in my array of poetry. I aim to make a name for a girl like me. This is a book to symbolize that you can do anything if you put your mind to it. Follow your dreams and shoot for the stars for that one in a million shot.
