Over time, a product made in a specific place can develop a unique reputation. This reputation is often due to special characteristics present in the place: its people, its climate and its landscape. There are thousands of examples. In the food and drinks sector there are fruits and vegetables, wines, cheeses and cured meats: Champagne; Chedder, Parma ham and Tipperary turnips. In manufacturers there are Persian carpets, Murano glass, Toledo steel and Japanese electronics. Should all these reputations be protected by law and if so how?

This collection of poems is based on what my heart, mind, and soul went through. Yes, it all started when I didnt know who my real father was. Even to this day, I dont know. I coped with relationships that I thought was good for me but wasnt. I led myself to believe that it was okay to feel the way I felt. So I started writing, and it gave me a sense of peace. I found my Heavenly Father, and even though I had peace, I still lacked that physical connection I felt I never had. Through my writing, I felt in my heart that everyone who went through what I went through handled it differently. I do want to clear up one thing about my writing. Its not physical; its more emotional and mental than anything. I struggled, but through my writing, I made it, and now I want to share my heartache, emotional roller coaster, and mental stability. I hope writing of what I felt in my life can relate to your problem and that, through my writing, I can help you realize that you are a special person in the eye of our Heavenly Father. No matter what life throws at you, you can make it. I hope you enjoy the poems.
