I have been writing poetry and essays since the age of thirteen. My pen name is DeVonja. I am married and have two children and work at Wal-Mart in Fort Gratiot. I also love reading and crocheting. I am a member of The Famous Poets Society and The Poetry Guild and am soon to be published in two upcoming anthologies. I have also been a recipient of the Diamond Homer Trophy. I have recently finished writing a book and have hopes for publication. Writing has always proven to be a source of focus and healing for me.

Make A Rainbow I Can Find

Show me how to unlock
These chains around my heart
To open wide the doorway
Make a brand new start.
Show me how to set free
The wings upon my soul
To fly out of the darkness
Make the light my goal.
Show me how to release
The pain inside my mind
To see the path before me
Make a rainbow I can find.
Show me how to follow
The yearnings of my heart
To chase after the rainbow
Make the curtain part.
Show me how to love again
And show me how to feel
And show me that you'll cry with me
And teach me how to heal.

We Will Walk With One Another

We have walked our separate paths
Trod on through quiet sorrow
We have lived a lifetime
Our hearts now ready for tomorrow.
Now we walk together
And touch the wings of the dove
We will float upon the wind
Knowing God has blessed our love.
We will always know
We will never cry alone
Our tears will have a purpose
Our arms will have a home.
We will stand against the storms
And drink together of the rain
We will share the power
Of ecstasy and pain.
Our love burns like a candle
To chase the shadows of the dark
Our flame shall never falter
Our steps shall leave their mark.
With the wind beneath our feet
We will walk with one another
For God has blessed these broken paths
That have led us to each other.
