| Welcome...to my website, Recovery in Poetry! Here you will find a sample of these collectible poems that I have written over a 26 year period that has helped me during my continuing recovery from a very severe traumatic brain injury. As I slowly came out of a six week coma, I discovered that I was a different person; I had lost my identity and many cognitive abilities. That loss led to depression and grief. Poetry helped me on my journey to recovery by expressing my feelings from despair to hope. It gave me a feeling of purpose. For those of you who have experienced a loss of self, I hope that my poetry will bring you hope. I also hope that my poems will be helpful to family members who have a loved one with a traumatic brain injury. Hopefully, this website may enlighten you to see life clearer through the eyes of all people whether white, black, red, yellow, brain injured, mentally disabled, etc. We're all the same because we all have thoughts and feelings that have importance. We all mirror each other in some way. Enjoy my website & come back often! Deb __________________________________ |

Deb's Tip of the Month for SEPTEMBER Working hard in life guarantees benefits physically, mentally and financially… Get to work! ______________________ |
Journey Take time to share what you have to contribute, Your thinking can be abstract and absolute, Life would not be an adventure, If we all had the same stature, As well as limitations, Thankfully we are all different creations. What you have to provide, Is unique and like no other world-wide. Pass along what has been given to you, This is the way for our journeys to continue. _______________________________ |
