About the Book and the Author

Each of the poems in Destiny Whispers was inspired by someone’s true life experiences.
I did not start out to write a book of poems. Destiny Whispers evolved over a period of 20 years.
I basically kept a journal and put into words passionate thoughts encountered as a result of life’s hardships. Often when those around me suffered emotional pain and loss, my empathy was so great I would put the deep reflections into words in the form of a poem to help them overcome the trials of life and bring to light the thoughts that are often left unspoken.
