I was born January 16, 1949. in Dickinson, North Dakota. I have several works published by the International Library of Poetry. My writing and poetry reflect my prayer of heart - I hope my work will give glory to God.

The Autumn of Life Leaves of gold in autumn fire Orange, reds cascade desire to run and jump and cover with glee the little child inside of me. The mounds and mounds colorful shape so light and free in autumn's wake Summer's end brings harvest near. What an incredible - good and happy year- Bring on the leaves, the autumn shapes! excitement looms in summer's wake The sun cascades, the colors glow Leaves' final hurrah, they just let go! As leaves of color fill the air we're free again with nary a care let go -let God. let life be Free. As Jesus said, Children come to Me The tree of life is God Divine the leaves of gold His children fine As children age, they just let go With Beautiful color to Heaven they go.

The Garden In the Garden of Heaven where peacefulness grows of all types of flowers, I choose the rose Its brilliance unfurls from the beauty within God's grace makes it bloom, masterpiece of heaven The smell of the rose can compare to God's grace clean and pure in its form, like the smile on the face of one of God's children, who are blooming with love from the sunshine exploding from heaven above Many flowers adorn heaven's bouquet God gave us the flowers, brought us beauty this day we will grow like His Flowers in heavenly grace Smell quite as sweetly, when his will we will Embrace

Soldier for God A special servant sent by God upon this Earth, a path to Trod the way was steep, the cross was worn from many miles, so battle-torn He was tired of fighting - in despair yet God heard his desperate prayer He carried him on angel's wings to heaven's gates to be with him He gazed on high and in his midst the angels lifted wings so swift and carried him so tired and torn to heaven's gates to heal his form In tender love, did God embrace this man with tears upon his face said, son, I chose you for this path knew I could trust you in the wrath of earth's great trials, many fall yet you, you stand against the wall I am by your side, I'm holding you I won't let go, so hold me too!
