If My Heart Could Talk David Sanford

A book of poetry filled with simple observations of the world around me as well as complex feelings of love and life. I enjoy everything from looking at Grass, or a field of Daises, to a Wedding dress hanging in a window. My poems are written from the perspective of someone whose life was almost lost multiple times. Undergoing five heart surgeries by the age of ten, the next heartbeat was not promised, much less another day or year. Each birthday is a gift. I'm usually quiet but always curious about how things affect my world. I am always grateful for life and the things that fill my life. I've always been involved in theater and all aspects of performing arts. I received my bachelors in Theatre Arts from University of West Florida in Pensacola, FL and had a great time living a dream in the arts all through college. I still attend and support our local community theaters. I still live in FL with my family. My mother's a Cardiology Nurse Practitioner. My father's a Retired Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel. My sister's an elementary school teacher. I have 2 spoiled dogs and a cat who thinks he pays the mortgage because he runs the place. I walk daily. I love trees. I love stopping and talking with the neighbors. I love all kinds of movies and books. You can usually find me at the bookstore hanging out or playing a game of chess on a Sunday afternoon.
