I have been writing poetry for twenty four years. I do oil paintings, and am a student in the Institute of Children Literature. I am also a licensed Minister with an International Organization of Churches and am involved in a local Church. My poetry is published by The National Library of Poetry, and a collection of my poetry is an outlet of deep emotions comprised of spiritual values, memories, experiences, and love. There is fulfillment in helping others to understand the loftier elements of life expressed in joy, love, forgiveness, and peace that belongs to all people.


Bumble Bee and Rabbitt Lee

"What are you doing?" says Bumble Bee
"Playing with a daisy." replies Rabbitt Lee

Says Bumble Bee, "Can I sit on the daisy flower soft
To eat nectar and then take off?"

Rabbitt Lee grins and his eyes do sparkle
As he lay in the clover with a lazy chuckle
"First show me how you can fly so far
When your body is so big, and your wings so short."

"No problem," says Bumble Bee to Rabbitt Lee
And he flew away as fast as he could flee.

Ha ha, I'll finish counting the stems of "I love you" daisy, and then
Hop away, to enjoy the sun, chomp my carrot, and have my fun.
As he sat down to count the daisy, He yelled OWWW,
And began running crazy.

Bumble Bee says with a rolling laugh
I didn't give him time for a heavy "SAT."


Nature Speaks

All is quiet until Lightning comes with a fire across the sky.
"I can do better than that." says Thunder and he rumbles with deafening cry. "Oh yeah? says Cyclone, I'm stronger than that, I can move anything on earth"
"You had better watch out, and keep your mouth."
Said Earthquake shaking with mirth.

Nature speaks the wonders of creator God
Who makes everything with life
Just as the forces, as though at play,
You have the power to laugh with mirth.
Laugh at illness that say to you, I'm stronger than your faith in God.
You can stomp it down, Pray to Jesus, and reap a miracle.  He loves you.

Overcoming Lesson

The Devil taunted, "You'll never succeed, you lack knowledge and expertise."
"Look at the way you are having to live when everyone else is comfortable.
You are working too hard, Your funds are low
You're discouraged and tired, You are getting slow."

What am I hearing, what shall I do?
Who is my Master? Jesus Christ so true.
A choice must be made ere the web is woven
To weaken my faith.  Soul look to Jesus, He is my strength.
Faith soars high above circumstances; Prayer makes a bond enhancing
My life.  Jesus gives a thrill as inintercession, the vacuum he fills.

God is great! My soul sings aloud
I grasp tightly the hand of invisible most high God.
I ask for his kind of understanding, knowledge and wisdom.
Now attired in battle array, I can conquer each day the foe.
