Book Description

I began writing poetry in the early eighties. The Lord inspired the majority of my poetry. I would be awakened around one a.m. with a poem in my heart and mind. I could not go back to sleep until I wrote it down. I keep and paper and pen close by . Sometimes I write on scrap paper on table napkins. Whatever is available whenthe poem comes to me. I began to feel I should publish my poetry as it began to come in the darkest hours of my life. I was having financial problems. My father had passed on leaving me to care for my sister who was disabled for life and I became disabled to work. Then went five years without an income. It was hard. Then on my fifty-nineth birthday I had surgery for breast cancer. During the time i was taking chemo, my sister passed this life. I have had cancer twice since; but the Lord whom I serve and write about has brought me through. I never thought once about turning away from Him and I grew stronger in my faith. I always claim the Scripture I can do all tings through Christ who strengthen me. I pray those who read my poetry will be blessed and encouraged.
