The Poetry of Everyday Life

Mothers teach their children lessons about life, some of them incredibly valuable, some of them very unintentional and some of them just plain wacky. When I was a young teenager, my mother fell into a deep depression, with the result that we ended up learning life together. As she got better and found herself answers on to how to deal with herself, she taught me them too. This is something that inspires me every time I touch pen to paper and write my stories and poems and I want to share these life lessons I learnt with whoever wants to read them. So every now and then I'll add a poem to this collection about something that my mother taught me.
