I Scream Soup

I Scream SoupDedicationTo my village of pain pals and to those who are lucky not to fall under this title. To those who knowingly and unknowingly caused the light to flow from deep inside my screaming soul. To you who helped to drive the words that spilled onto the blank sheets beneath my pen. And to those who are my faithful friends until the end. To life for its thorns, winds, sunshine, and storms. And to God for the strength that helped me endure. And last but not least, to my nieces and nephews and my brothers and sisters. To my mother who taught me strength and resourcefulness. And to my father whos no longer with us but left me the gift of music, poetry, and most importantly, the trait for feeling passionate love.
