Book Cover & Preview Text
From As the Bird Sings Drops of Water Gently drip the drops of water Dripping to the rocks below-- Like the moments, ever slipping, Lost and gone before we know. Gently drip the drops of water, Never ceasing in their flow-- Like the world, forever turning, Pulling us along in tow. Gently drip the drops of water; Drop by drop we watch them go-- Like a clock that won't stop ticking, Minutes fly and time is foe. Gently drip the drops of water, By the wind tossed to and fro-- Like our lives, constantly moving, Causing us to change and grow.

About the Book
As the Bird Sings is a collection of inspirational poems that will cause you to reflect, tug at your heartstrings, and ultimately touch your soul. In it, the author addresses the experiences of life that we all share--our feelings, our goals and dreams, our fears of illness and aging--and with her poetry manages to instill in us a fresh perspective and a renewed hope. Lovers of traditional rhyming verse will appreciate the almost musical cadence that the author, a former dancer and choreographer, injects into this collection of poetry. It is verse that will entice the reader to reread it often and commit to memory many of its passages. In the tradition of classical poetry, it delves into our innermost being, lays bare our concerns about life and living, and encourages the best that's within us.
