Retired Fire/Life Safety and Security professional, full time caregiver of my 6 year old beautiful granddaughter Lily, and writer of stories and poetry all of my life. With a very hard life, and difficult past, I have put my thoughts, opinions and memories down on paper through my poetry, Perhaps if I am lucky, someone may find a bit of strength, hope and inspiration. My granddaughter is 6 years old, and is in the process of publishing her very own children's story that she created by herself. I am helping her write the words, and I find myself desperately trying to draw her illustrations, and for the first time in a long time, I am laughing as I draw them. Hopefully if she see's I have published stories and poetry myself, she will understand that there are several career paths she can choose from when it comes time to follow her dreams. I hope my poetry reflects the hardships I had to endure to become the person I hope I am today. Love to everyone. No matter who you are. Tammara Cappellano

When will mankind understand,
We share this...

The Written Word

The written word is my way
To express just how I feel.
Moments lived and memories
Are shared in what I say.

Most of them are sadness,
Expressing life I've lived.
Moments that I can't forget,
Are all I have to give.

My poems are my...

Broken Angel

Broken Angel

I’m a broken Angel
My wings no longer fly.
For Angel’s need someone to love,
To reach the bluest sky.

My sorrow binds me to the Earth,
And this Angel can’t take flight.
The happiness my wings once had;
Are chained here day...

Integrity

Integrity

If I were asked to say one thing
That tells you who I am,
I’d say it wasn’t something simple
When it comes to a woman or a man.

I would hope that those who know of me
Would agree with what I’d say.
That what I hope describes...

My prayer to God

If God could grant me just one wish;
I know what it would be.
I'd ask him to return my love...
The man who married...
