My mother's birthday is just around the corner, and so I went back and read some of the stuff I'd written shortly after her passing. I figure here would be as good a place as any to post it

Here is a poem I just wrote! Enjoy!

Hey everyone!

I am working on my MFA in creative non-fiction writing. As an avid U2 fan myself, I know many people have great stories on how they discovered the music, and how it's changed lives.
I have a series of questions to ask if you are interested in sharing your story with me.

I may or may not include in my book and you can be known other than your real name if you wish.
