About the Author
Born in Birmingham, England and then moving to Canada at a young age, Beryl McMullen grew to have an immense love for poetry and writing. Her poetry was the voice to her thoughts as she expressed herself through verse. In her mind's eye, she professed it is never too late to learn and never too late to start, it is the state of mind and matter of will which allows one to take charge, time is just a gift. Enjoying life and doing what one loved every day was what mattered the most. Her fondness for animals was her next love and it is reflected through her poetry. She was an admired individual who had lived through the toughest of times bringing lots of wisdom and inspiration to others and for this she will be greatly missed but the memory of her beautiful words will be shared for generations to come.
