Summerville, South Carolina, USA

I am a senior at Charleston Southern University. I am majoring in Humanities/Fine Arts and minoring in Social Sciences. When I graduate, I would like to work in a school or work in a music related field. I am very involed in my church, I love singing in the adult choir, playing handbells, and working with the children's choir. I love singing as well as listening to beautiful music, including opera. All of my poetry comes from life experiences, I write about the very personal aspects, both positive and negative, that have occured in my life.


Angel Songs

A voice divine is not my gift
Extraordinary love for angel voices
I sing and my heart is blessed
Every song touches my heart
Singing brings great delight
Listening to the angels beautiful songs
Glory given for a magnificent gift
My heart echoes a heavenly hymn
My eyes and my face dance with happiness.
Singing, my heart is full of joy.
Returning my gratitude
I sing to a higher presence
In hopes that the angels might hear
And one day invite me to join
Their Beautiful Heavenly Chorus
I know that's where I will belong
Singing the angel songs.

A Godmother's Love

Dearest Jordan
What joy you give my heart
Your sweet smile brightens my day
From the moment you came into this world
I knew our bond would be special
We are connected by family
Bonded forever through unending love
Angelic child,
We are separated by many miles
But I hold you in my heart every day
I am so blessed to be your Godmother
You are always in my prayers
I will thank God for you through eternity
How I love you Jordan Marie!
