A Memory and a Wish

About the Book

Erin Lyn McGraw's unique poetry book is about making memories, having friends, family, and people that we love in our lives and sometimes having to say good-bye to them.

In this collection of twenty-nine poems, McGraw includes personal stories about how each poem came about from working with hospice patients in her life as a nurse to her feelings of love for her mother and father. In "World Within a World," McGraw describes how it feels when you meet that special person and the world is a bit brighter, happier and safer while in "The Friend in You," she writes about friendships that come and go.

A Memory and a Wish is about experiences of life -- good and bad. Some will make you cry and some will warm your heart and make you realize you aren't alone in things you experience on this road called life. And with each and every poem, McGraw gives you a little insight into her world.
