ABOUT THE AUTHOR
My name is Adriana, and though I have a nickname, an American friend has told me I have a beautiful name, and uses only my full name. I am a woman, a dreamer who has a passion for life, and loves writing, and I must say, that I breathe words in and out.

I started writing in 2003, as I was internally urged on to do so. Poetry is a natural outcome of my life, and I felt that I was guided or maybe even destined to write, a feeling that took over and could not be stopped.

I love writing all types of poems and am glad when emails arrive from other people on the web, telling me that I put into words exactly the way they feel. Helping people is a nice way to forget about one's own personal problems and keep on going. Another reason that I have been writing is to improve my English. As English is not my native language, writing in English is another way to be even closer to this beautiful language. It has always come so naturally to me, that I can consider it a gift from Heaven.

I was born and raised in Brazil. In marriage, I spent some time in the USA with an American citizen. Sadly though, it did not work out, and I returned to my native land, Brazil. Memories of the time I lived there are nice, and one day I hope I am able to go back to that beautiful country to visit and enjoy all the good things it has to offer.

Teaching is what I do as an occupation and have a love for it, while writing is not only my love, but a hobby and a friend as well. As life's trials come I realize just how blessed I am in God and that He is everything to me.

My children are grown and are young adults now. One is currently living in Italy and works as an Architect, and the other is a psychologist and lives here, in São José dos Campos.

Soon, I will be a grandmother and will continue writing poetry and enlighten people's lives with my gift.

My ultimate dream is to have one of my original poems used as lyrics in a song, and then hear it on many radio stations.

What A Shame!
Dri Cook

 
 

What a shame that we're not friends
that you don't understand me
that we're so far apart!

What a shame that I disappoint you
that I'm not what you expect me to be
that in your eyes I fail so very much

What a shame that you never give me a chance to be around
to be part of your life
to guide you
to protect you

What a shame that I can't tell you
that in life there are times for tears
but also for joy
that one day we fail
the next, we win!

What a shame that not always I can be like a fairy
to make your dreams come true
put a smile on your face
and tell you that everything will be all right

What a shame that I can't be your rock
to always be there, for good and for worse
to be like a gardener
to water you like a gentle rose
and help you build your life

What a shame
that you pushed me away from you
that you think you're strong
when I know you're so very fragile

What a shame that girls need first to be just girls
to then become mothers
for only when they become mothers
they will understand
that mothers are just mothers
they also struggle with pain
cry
and get hurt!

What a shame that it may take ages
for you to understand
that mothers are gifts
and regardless their failures,
they're always special

What a shame that you're not humble
that very seldom I can reach your heart
hold your hands
kiss you sweet
embrace you tenderly
and love you, anyway!
