Field of DreamsThe "field of dreams," everyone has one,Baseball player, farmers, migrant workers, too, Starlets and gamblers--all wanting to pursue, The field of dreams, a magic sport, Where each one becomes a star, A brief moment of glory, voted the most popular. The sun always shining on "the field of dreams,"
The "star" is glamorous in a bouffant dress,
The gambler bets on horses, dogs, or games,
Yes, everyone has their "field of dreams,"

Rich in the Love of JesusMy clothes are old, patched, and worn,The soles of my shoes are thin, My pockets have holes and are empty, And I know I'm guilty of sin. I'm homeless and wander from street to street,
No one I know is immune from suffering,
The path of life on earth is rough,

Joy--First EditionHello, Mr. Robin, I see you therePerched on the branch of the old maple tree Searching the garden with beady black eyes A fat, wiggly, red angleworm to see. I wonder where you have hidden your nest
Mr. Robin Redbreast, with your gay song

I
began writing poetry in the eighth grade for English Literature assignments.
This created a channel through which I have been able to empty my heart
of its aches, my mind of happy and sad memories, and to stimulate my spirit
to venture out into the big, beautiful world around me; so that my faith
might dwell on God's promises. I taught primary grades for twenty-eight
years. I have been published in Children's Activities magazine and
by The National Library of Poetry. I am currently working on a collection
of religious poetry and one of miscellaneous poems for family and friends.
