Born and raised in the midwest until 1975 when I moved to Utah. I began writing poetry as a student in the 60's and again in the 90's. In between, I pursued a career in nursing, but am now retired and loving it! My poetry has been published in over a dozen poetry anthologies, by the National Library of Poetry, International Society of Poets, Mile High Poetry Society, Amherst Society. Inducted into the International Poetry Hall of Fame in 1998. Invited to read at several conventions over the past ten years, in Washington, D.C. and Disneyland. My poetry has been acknowledged by authors Neal Donald Walsch, and Gary Zukav. I write locally for friends and family, for weddings and funerals and other special occasions. I also enjoy painting and sketching. I am currently enjoying retirement, and my grandkids. I have 3 children,4 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild.
Do you ever wonder...............
Why lives intersect,
React to one another -
What makes our hearts connect?
...
If I could put it into words -
All that my heart is feeling,
Would they help to warm your heart
Or would they send you reeling?
...
There are consequences to everything
Intentions have their purpose -
So don't deny
Or justify -
...
In the darkness of your thoughts
Created by circumstances
Both complex and overwhelming,
When no amount of spirits
...
One bright star in the vast unknown
A blazing ember in the night sky shone
Reminding me that I'm not alone...............
One bright star;
