These are some amazing poems. You are definitely an inspiration Ruth. I’m using some of them for a school project. I love these poems.
thanks so much, Leah! Glad you liked the poems so much 🙂
My brother is disabled and he can’t talk and these poems help people understand him. Thank you for the time and effort you put into this, I know you really care.
Thanks, Nova, for leaving me a message about your brother. I can see you love him very much and I hope my poetry does help people understand.
Take care,
Ruth
