The reader will come to understand that the ones who manage to put things into proper perspective are able to make their way through life with dignity. The last poem in the book displays a grander philosophy of life that everyone ought to grasp to enable one to understand what life really is about.

About the Author

The author has been a keen observer of people since she was a child. As a teacher, educationist, and social volunteer working with children and youth for over ten years, she has been privy to their feelings on dealing with life. She has penned the observations garnered over the years in a variety of published essays and articles and in original play-scripts that have been performed in her home town. Her relationship with her sons has contributed much to her understanding of her role as mentor to children and youth. She is also passionate about music and painting. This is her first published work of poetry.

Maureen Pereira currently lives with her husband and two grown sons in Mumbai, India.
