About

I am, at 67, on the most amazing and thrilling journey of my life. I have always dreamed of being an author, but I was busy raising a family and tending their needs.  I suffered a setback in 1995 via an anuerysim, but as it turns out, it was the best thing that ever happened to me.  I learned who my children really were, how strong they are and how much they love me as well as I them.  I have had an opportunity to also get to know my grandchildren and watch them grow and mature; all 12 of them of various ages.
 
I wrote this book as a legacy to tell them of my life, my feelings and expectations.  They are my reason for living.  They are the reason I do everything I do.  If I had a million dollars, I wouldn't feel any better than I feel now knowing my children love and respect me.

I have finally had my dream come true.  Through my friends and their encouragement I am now working on my second book.  I am on Classmates and the people in there have supported me, urged me on, been understanding and inspirational.  They let me know every day how much they love me and I am blessed beyond imagination.

<p>Have you ever loved, been loved, been confused about love, or suffered from loss of love? All these feelings have been captured and shared in the words of heartfelt poems, compiled over many years by a former teacher and award-winning author.</p><p>Sherrill S. Cannon now shares her thoughts in this book of feelings. &quot;As a teacher, I used poetry to help counsel many troubled teens and friends, and have continued this pattern throughout the years.&quot;</p><p>There are three sections in her book: Heads, Spinning, and Tails ... (Love &amp; Loss: Coin Toss?). The variety of lyrical poetry forms include free verse, blank verse, haiku, and sonnets. Some poems are simply plays on words.</p><p><strong>A Sign</strong></p><p>In the depths of my winter</p><p>I heard a small bird -</p><p>Braving the cold,</p><p>Bringing the word.</p><p>He gave my heart hope</p><p>As I heard him sing -</p><p>Three little notes</p><p>Promising spring.</p><p>Sherrill S. Cannon, a former teacher and grandmother of 10, is the author of nine acclaimed rhymed children's stories that have received 48 national and international book awards between 2011 and 2017. Also a playwright with seven published plays for elementary school children, her works have been performed internationally in over 20 countries. Most of her children's books try to teach something, such as good manners and caring for others.
