Biography

I am a 38 year old disabled mother of two boys. I had two strokes at the age of 31 in 2002. Which left me paralyzed on my left side. I have been writing poetry for about 21 years. My two sons are my real joy. They had to grow up real fast after my strokes I'll always feel guilty for robbing them of part of their childhood. I've found that in life you really can't take things for granted. Who would have thought that one day my kids would be tying my shoes and zipping my coat for me? You can't just feel sorry for yourself either or dwell on the "why" of things or you'll never really "live." I escape in my poetry and release inner pain and hide behind the false mask of happiness. Some days it gets tiring. But seems expected now. hmm another poem in there somewhere lol! My dream is to publish a book of poetry someday. After my second stroke I was in a coma and my family was told to tell me goodbye that I wouldn't live another 24 hours. I guess then I woke up and started waving at my kids. Kind of put life into perspective I think. I can be contacted at tmwillman89@yahoo.com, or under Tonya Graham-Willman on facebook.

hope you like this poem I don't want to see people cry... I dont' want to see people cry, I don't want to just live and die. My hands won't stand idle by, My mind won't slumber in apathy. Sweat I will, to see a mother smile, Respite not for me, nor pause a while. Every child's dream a reality, For the child and every mother -peace and harmony. While men speak with brevity, Society glued to TV, Drugs and alcohol in plenty, Unnoticed goes family tragedy, A child clutching a doll, a haunting memory, Looking for dead brother, among the rubble and debris, I won't stand by while bombs rain from the sky, Nor turn a blind eye, while men kill and lie. I dont' want to see people cry, I don't want to just live and die. My hands won't stand idle by, My mind won't slumber in apathy.

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
