"When My Heart Speaks"
By: Frances Patterson Harper "Ann"

Here's my simplistic honesty!
Thoughts, hopes, dreams, moods, feelings and expressions all make their way from the heart to the pages in the form of songs, poems. Words, to a writer, is what paint is to an artist, or clay to a sculptor, necessary for artistic creations. "When My Heart Speaks" is a collection of all the things mentioned earlier over the course of many years ago until as recent as yesterday. These songs and poems are simple and honest expressions that captures moments in the heart like a photograph. For years, songs, poems, short stories, and plays have been my trusted, good friends, they come through when I need them. Creativity is always a welcomed guest as it always brings more than it takes a way. What a blessing to share them with you! Wishing you much love! Be blessed! "Ann"

Special Dedication:
I dedicate this book to my husband of 35 years, Kane G. Harper, and to our 2 lovely daughters, Melissa Brooke Harper Cook, and Melanie Nicole Harper. They are an integral source of my inspirations and they allow me to love them beyond all limits! I am so grateful to God, whom I love, and so very thankful that he created these people to be in my life.
