From a very young age, Jasmine was a captive audience for my poems.  As she grew older, she was a willing critic.  She always wanted me to publish. In fact, she sent one of my poems out to a contest.  Excited when it was accepted for publication, she believed it proved she was right.  Well, I disagreed until after her passing. Finally, my daughter's wish is fulfilled. And I feel the warmth of her love as she celebrates winning.
