ALL ABOUT LOVE IBD

Sinopse

'All About Love' is Pat Morrell-Donnelly?s ninth book to publish. It contains two hundred twenty poems on different subjects. Each poem contains the word 'love.' Many are motivational and inspirational type poems. Some tell about life and about life?s struggles and challenges that Pat has experienced. They tell about the love of God, Agape love, love of parents, love of nature, love of country, and different kinds of love. Most have a positive ending. Reading the poems will take one away a bit from the vicissitudes of life. Pat believes she has been given a gift from God that puts these poems in her mind. Perhaps some of the thoughts also come from being on this earth ninety four years. Many of the poems were written in the nineteen eighties and nineteen nineties and all through the years that followed. They portray some of the difficulties Pat experienced through out her life. The poems tell about different hardships, problems, losses and heartbreaks Pat suffered. Many times she is awakened in the night with thoughts going round in her head. She jots down or scribbles the thoughts on a pad next to her bed and deciphers the scribbling the following morning. She has also written many poems while under the hair dryer. The book also contains a short story 'The Faded Photograph.' It is a great love story Pat wrote about a special couple she knew. The lady was originally from England. A second short story called 'Unfinished' is about her mother who was killed by a drunk driver when her mother was forty five years of age. A beautiful life snuffed out prematurely. Pat worked all her life since age fourteen. She 'made it' as the saying goes, and then 'lost it all.' She was very successful at one point, but from wrong choices and decisions she lost all the material possessions she had attained over her lifetime. Pat realizes her poems are not everyone?s 'cup of tea.' She appreciates that many have purchased her books and say they love her poems. They speak to just what that person needs at the time. Their spirit is lifted. She shares her life?s experiences through her poetry. If Pat?s poems can offer a bit of pleasure to any individual then the effort to put this book together and get it published will have been worth it all.
