"in Fragments of My Mind: A Ride Through Time" - Poetry From the Heart Is Dedicated to Grandchild

VICTORIA, Australia - Oct. 4, 2013 - PRLog -- The heartfelt poetry in Fragments of My Mind: A Ride Through Time represents a grandfather’s thoughts and emotions about his family’s struggle to understand the effects of spinal muscular atrophy on his five-year-old granddaughter.

The bookbegan as touching true stories about author Desmond B. O’Neill’s grandchild and her parents. He wrote down his feelings about the despair, happiness, fighting spirit, and the love that has brought the family together. His words turned into a book of poems touching on a variety of other subjects.

The author wrote the book for guests celebrating his 60th birthday. After crafting the poems, they touched so many hearts that he was asked to put them in a book. The poems range from funny stories of childhood, to sentimental issues such as dealing with cancer, bullying, and childhood disabilities.
