Poetry

      In a time that seems far away from where I am now: I wrote a fair bit of poetry. I have decided to post my poetry here to try and preserve some of my work. It was written before I was ever married or had children.

     I have struggled my whole life with mental illness and physical disabilities. There might be more posts concerning this at a later date when I feel strong enough to share. In the mean time, in regards, to my poetry I will post the first one on this post. Each poem after that will be on it's own blog post.

The new me

By Raina Naomi Gardner

The new me is not hard to see
I smile I laugh, I came to be
You helped me see the inner me
you make me want to climb a tree
I know laughter I know pain
but in the end you remain
You have always been there
you always care
My life my soul in my new me
it’s not really new, just totally free
