What's Best

Sherrie Benedict

I've always had big dreams of becoming a famous poet and writer and to be acknowledged for my work. I've been writing poetry since I was six and I am now 30. My published poem was written when I was 17. I'm a full time mother of three precious little girls all under the age of two. Writing gives me a sense of self and belonging and comes from the heart and fits in perfect with my busy days of mothering. All of my poems describes my life and experiences through struggling and my young days of being young and getting into trouble. Some describe how I felt about our world when writing them. They all describe different situations I've experienced throughout my life and how I felt and the ways to cope with each situation differently. I've always dreamed of one day each of my writings will help a lot of people out there that might be going through what I did or has gone through it before and help them also find a sense of belonging and the courage to get up each day and move on with their lives as happy individuals and walk the path as I do to this day. And that's to never ever give up hope on anything that might be going wrong in our lives because the more we learn from our mistakes and the more we set an example to keep going with our heads held high we become stronger and so does our younger generation. And in hopes that one day our world will be full of happiness and kindness and we all become one! I pray my poetry touches the lives of many individuals as possible to help them to keep on believing in themselves and our children and believe we can be happy and at peace and we will love that day when we grow old and can look back on all of our wrongs and smile at the fact because we never gave up hope we have more rights at that time then wrongs. We can and will all be proud individuals and proud of our kids if we just stick to believing we can and we will instead of we can't and won't. Trust me, I was that girl! more…
