I am a high school graduate. I enjoy writing poems. I have been writing poetry for a year. My first poem was published by The National Library of Poetry. I am member of the Church of Christ. I am also a member of Weight Control work shop, and take organ lessons. I like to draw and oil paint, as well as  write short stories for children. I have no stories published. I work on an assembly line, assembling plastic toys at Processed Plastic Co. I love animals and have a dog. Poetry helps me to understand how nature and people come together in harmony.

God Will Be There

When tears fill your eyes, 
And great sadness fills your heart, 
When it is hard to say farewell, 
To your friend as they go away. 
The seasons come and go. 
As time rushed on, 
The years slipped away. 
Your fellowship with God is there. 
Farewell will not last forever. 
Take joy my friend, 
The clouds will clear away. 
Rainbows will be bright again. 
Songs will fill your heart with joy. 
For your friends will keep you 
In their prayers and thoughts. 
When miles and ocean come in between. 
For God will always be there. 
Keep your hope and faith in him. 
When good and bad times come your way. 
So keep on trying best you can. 
And God will see you through.

Big Brother In Memory Of Paul

When I look upon a photograph. 
Not so long ago, not so faded. 
A picture of my beloved big brother. 
The memories had filled my mind. 
The times we cried and the times we laughed. 
How brother watches over me, 
Makes sure I'm not hurt. 
When I was sick, he made my lunch. 
We'd go on shopping trips. 
We thought we would grow old together. 
Through the years we thought it was true. 
Brother and I worked on model trains. 
Then time had come to call. 
My big brother had to go. 
He passed away, he went to eternal sleep. 
God is holding him as he sleeps. 
Until he comes to call. 
All I have are memories and a photograph. 
In memory of big brother Paul.
