My name is Cynthia R. Burkhow. I come from a family of two older siblings and three half siblings by marriage. I had the cord wrap around my neck so it cause problems with my speech and how to communicate through the years. I did not speak until I was three years old and by then consider a retard child. My mom – the teacher help me at an early age to prove I was not a retard child just need another way to learn in life then from my peers.

My mom passed away almost 20 years due to Cancer from both her parents – grandparents. I got rebel lies as I grew older and turn away from what my mom had so try to teach me. Years later I would have a miscarriage, gave up a son for adoption and then lose a son to SIDS. This set me back the day he was gone. It was through his spirit and a dear friend advice that I saw potential again. I use my poems to describe in a real and personal matter. It was this past year that I take it to where I reach out to others and get to know their Angels too. I use poem as a form of therapy because I do not know always what to say but through these poems I can express. I am so blessed to not only write for me but for others too.

I have another chance to discover myself these past few months. I decide to make homemade baby hats that will bring lots of smiles to families. It is never too late to learn about yourself and where it will take you.
