The Butterfly is Me: a Collection of Inspirational Poems Margaret Ann Stanton

This book is a compilation of inspirational poems written by Margaret "Peg" Stanton after being diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer called inflammatory breast cancer. During her illness, Peg began a spiritual journey to help her find the inner peace and strength neccessary to come to terms with having a terminal illness. It was on this journey of spiritual enlightenment that Peg embraced the butterfly as her symbol of strength and wrote the poems found in this book. Peg, a loving mother and devoted friend and teacher, lost her courageous battle with cancer on January 23, 2005. Please enjoy these poems and may you find the inspiration she hoped it would provide. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will go to various breast cancer oganizations.
