Reflections

by V.S. Gardner

This collection of poems is the result of trying to both find and express myself while experiencing the joys and struggles of life. Expressing my feelings in writing has always come naturally to me. The poems I share here, both rhyming and without metrical structure, are heartfelt expressions of emotions that are common to us all.

In these pages are reflections on childhood fun, adult frustrations, the beauty of nature, friendship, family, faith, familial, romantic and divine love.

Life is a series of never ending events ~ from the beautiful to the tragic. While we each travel our own path much of what we experiences is similar. This being true I hope you hear yourself sigh, feel your head nod, smile often, laugh occasionally and perhaps even wipe away a tear or two as you read along.

Thank you for choosing to read my reflections I hope our time together warms your heart. ~ Vanessa~

About the author

THANK YOU to all who have rated or left a review of any of my books here on Goodreads! I really appreciate it! I enjoy feedback from readers and welcome you to contact me.

I've been a writer all my life but it wasn't until 2020 that I became a published author. I am excited to now have three mystery novels published. In my first novel A Killing on Hardee Street Vonda Graham unknowingly hold clues to the disappearance of an employee of the Construction Company building new homes in her neighborhood. In my second novel A Brick to Remember a missing man's daughter grows up to become an advocate for missing persons. She falls asleep while journaling which causes her to sleep-type phrases about a brick, a toy, a name and her dad - all clues to what happened to him. While working with an FBI Task Force to solve local missing person cases in Myrtle Beach her new neighbor Vonda Graham helps her solve the mystery of her father's disappearance. My third novel The Forgotten Home centers around an abandoned home. A newborn baby goes missing and from there the story follows the child, the child's parents and the person behind it all. Vonda Graham and the ladies in her book club are close to those involved in this mystery. I hope you'll read and review my novels. Thank you for visiting my profile page.
