Gratitude
The Merella Papers. Top Story - March 2025.
Note: this poem was written about a very personal moment in my life. I met my half-sister when I was living and working in Montréal as a grad student. I saw her photograph when I was a teenager, but it was many years before we met. And I wrote this as a way to understand my emotions and feelings about chance, love and how life can throw you curves you never expect.

Silence Is Golden
This Poem about silence is golden my dad’s favourite song. His way of telling me he knew my pain even though the mental cruelty of my abusive marriage I tried to keep from him. Some how he knew what I was going through yet no family members told him. I wanted it that way because I couldn’t stand the thought of my dad knowing and if he said anything him getting hurt too. I loved my dad too much. I also know my brother if dad had told him what I was going through. Would have killed my ex husband at the time. I didn’t want trouble for both my dad and brother so I chose to keep my silence Golden. Copy Rights to everything but the song belong to George’s Girl 2025 ❤️💕❤️
