"If my heart could speak,
The tales that it could tell;
The sorrows it could share;
The wails that it could wail.
If my heart could speak,
The world would understand...
If my heart could speak."
From: "If My Heart Could Speak"
Tina Rae Collins' heart does speak, and it speaks very well. This collection of poetry is the heart of Tina Rae Collins, and it is sure to get to the heart and soul of everyone who reads it.
