Sherrill S. Cannon now shares her thoughts in this book of feelings. "As a teacher, I used poetry to help counsel many troubled teens and friends, and have continued this pattern throughout the years."

A Sign
In the depths of my winter
I heard a small bird -
Braving the cold,
Bringing the word.
He gave my heart hope
As I heard him sing -
Three little notes
Promising spring.
