This is a collection of poems about family, friends, and the ups and downs of life. When Robin was a young adult, she started writing poems as gifts for people to let them know how important they were—their virtues, skills, or ability to make people laugh. When her daughters were babies, she wrote poems about how adorable and amusing they were. Later, she wrote to her daughters to instill wisdom and help them survive their teenage years. She has created poems for her grandchildren, who each have distinct personalities and potential. Robin has also written about marriage—her love for her husband, as well as frustrations. Putting pen to paper helped her deal with watching dementia devastate her parents. When she lost loved ones or struggled with depression, she wrote about it and prayed. God has been with her in good times and comforted her in the bad.
