	My All	by Susan Mary Hattingh June 19, 2011	$1.49	3477 words	Sample 20%
	Author bio: Writing these poems gave me a voice when I felt there was no one to listen and even if they did, they would not understand the depth of the feelings I could pour out onto the pages. Growing is hard to do. As we grow, we realize what true love is. We all go through so many emotions trying to make sense of the world we live in. These are a collection of my deepest thoughts and feelings. I believe many people will be able to connect with them as love, disappointment, joy and pain are universal. I am an artist in many mediums, painting, drawing, photography and last but not least poetry. However, in most fields I am a copy artist, putting down on paper what I see. In the last field, poetry, I feel authentic as I am writing from my heart and soul. Like the words in a good song, I hope my poetry fills your heart with emotion, touches your soul and helps you to realize you are never truly alone.
