Bessie Kelly lived her life at the height of the Great Depression and World War II. In her spare time, she wrote poetry, and dabbled in writing songs, and musical arrangements. In a tiny spiral bound notebook, she poured her thoughts and heart into words of rhyme, often displaying rhyming styles seen amongst the well renowned poets of America.
