I started writing after a wedding reception inspired me greatly. I started writing poetry in February of 2004, just before my 28th birthday. Poetry has become my voice, I tell it like it is when I write. I proclaim myself to be a soapbox preacher because of that. I write of the Lord, and of love. Those are my two main subjects.
I've been given a gift,
It is a gift so grand.
It is a gift so great,
It will not fit in my hand.
...
Even though you're not here, you're here.
You are the smile on my face.
Even though you're far away, you are oh, so near.
I'm surrounded by reflections of your grace.
...
The time has come when my birthday is near,
And I look forward to greetings from ones I hold dear.
Will their cards make me laugh, or shed a tear?
It is because of that, that I look forward to every year.
...
Almighty is He,
Beloved He be.
Contagious is His love.
Domine, Lord up above.
...
All I can say is 'Love! '
All I can feel is love!
All I can do
Is give thanks to You
...
