Desmond B. O'Neill

Fragments of My Mind: A Ride Through Time began as touching true stories about a child, her parents, and a family’s struggle to understand the effects of spinal muscular atrophy. A grandfather wrote his feelings of the despair, happiness, fighting spirit, and love that followed. What resulted are words carefully constructed to reach the hearts of all, as his words turned into a book of heartfelt poems touching on various subjects. Desmond B. O’Neill produced and printed this book of poetry written with imagination and soul for guests celebrating his 60th birthday. After crafting the poems based on real-life events, they touched the hearts of many, and he was requested to put them in a book. The poems range from funny stories of childhood, to sentimental issues of dealing with cancer, to bullying and childhood disabilities. Praise has kept Desmond writing and entertaining with words carefully placed, garnished, and felt.
