Michelle Umland
When I published A Diary of a Poet's Pen, it was exciting and challenging. "In The Garden With Daddy" was a dream I had shortly after my father's passing. I almost didn't include it because it was so personal. After some soul-searching, I decided to include it in the book. I thought others who may have lost a parent early in life might find some comfort in it or maybe stir memories of their own. I wrote An Angel's Lullaby for my three children, who are now parents themselves. Remember The Memories is a poem I wrote from my mother's perspective after my daughter was born. She would often reflect on her memories when my brother and I were small, as my children spoke their first words or took their first steps. Summer Lane, Silence Within The Storm, Silver Dreams, and Winds of Change, to name a few, were poems written between the ages of eleven and fifteen. I wrote the remaining poems later in life, expressing my opinions, views, and experiences.

A Diary of a Poet's Pen - Michelle Umland
Dedication
A Diary of a Poets Pen is dedicated in memory of my mother and father. Although their residence may have changed, their love, presence, and encouragement fill my heart. To my exceptional children, whom I love to the moon and back. May your dreams and talents carry you through life. Hold on to your dreams and never let go. To my incredible Fiancé, whose strength, love, determination, and encouragement inspire me to push harder and strive for the unreachable. To God above, whom I revere, without your guidance and inspiration, this book would have never gotten to page one.
Thank you all and much love!
A Diary
of a Poets Pen

REFLECTIONS
The Expression of my Pen
I sat down with my pen
Which seems to be
my dearest friend,
My imagination flowed like a river
Quenching the thirst
of my barren thoughts,
Quickly, as they entertain me
I capture the essence
They have brought.
Visions dance with rhythm, in time
As I give life, emotion
To these words of mine
Their expression cuts deep,
Others, rest upon my lips as I sleep.
I have cried countless tears
As they have impressed upon me
The many joys and pain
Of my short years.
Pain gives birth
To our hopes and dreams
That otherwise would remain
Thoughtless, it seems.
The rapture of their beauty brings
A breathless sigh to explain
The depth of true reality
As my pen silently sings,
Unleashing the melody
Of my thoughts
We engage in our journey
Once again.
A MEMOIR OF THE HEART
As I look back
Even though I am still young with age
I wonder where time has gone,
With my soul at hand
I search the years that fill each page
Of this diary, I had begun.
Recorded are the sounds of laughter
And memorable things we had done.
Written in tears
Are lingering hours of pain,
An avenue I have chosen
Never to travel again.
I hold within a sacred embrace
The many trials
That has proven to inspire,
And grasp quickly
The moving memories
Of true miracles that did transpire.
There are those who proclaimed love
Beyond any depth or measure,
But God revealed to me
Endless love my heart could treasure.
There are memories recorded
That very few would understand,
And times we succumb to reasoning
That fell on the other hand.
We all have paths to travel
Memories to hold whatever the age,
We all must endure what life unravels
And hold fast
To the goodness, we engage.
For those later years that will come
We will eagerly recall them one by one
Written in the memoir of our hearts.
In the Garden with Daddy
Is it, me?
Or do you hear the birds singing
Joyfully in the garden?
Their melodies drift eloquently,
Embracing the tender breath of roses
Illuminated by,
The peaceful tears of Morning.
You are beside me,
And time eagerly stands still.
We exchange
Our thoughts, our memories
All our yesterdays at will.
We became lost in the moment
Sharing loving words
Before we couldn’t say,
I had prayed for that moment
That I shared with you that day.
God showed me
His generosity, His grace,
As my eyes
briefly touched your face.
Daddy,
it will hold me
For a little while,
Our memories of the garden,
Your happy smile.
Remembering
Relieves my heart of its pain
Until we are in the garden, Daddy,
Where we shall walk again.
Surrender
Speak unto thee, oh my heart
The hour of darkness befalls me.
This day of wonder
quickly slips from sight
To rest peacefully
upon the patient horizon.
Obediently tomorrow awaits
This heavenly slumber of the night,
Knowing it is the hope of dreams
That holds them, but a breath apart.
Such magic convinces my soul,
It must be free
To embrace all this day past,
And accept
What tomorrow may bring.
It is from the deepest emotion
I have found that you speak,
But it has yet to make my soul sing
Only awaken all that makes me weak.
With pleasure, I cast this bitterness
