Clarkson, Kentucky

I am a housewife who, prior to 1987, had never written anything. Then God gave me a gift for writing. Since then I've written beautiful poetry, gospel and country songs and I've had poem's published by The National Library of Poetry and also the World of Poetry. I have a Golden Poet of 1990 Certificate from the World of Poetry signed by Eddie Lou Cole. I also have a Certificate of Merit from the Famous Poets Society. Writing poetry is my contribution to the beautiful things in life. I thank God for sharing his wisdom with me, that I might share with others.

I'll Always Have A Part of You With Me

We made some plans together, You and I
Now when I think about it, I just cry.
You were sick, God called you home.
And left me memories.
I'll always have a part of you with me.
I heard our song on the radio last night
I closed my eyes I could feel you hold me tight
Now every time they play our song
I feel so safe and free
I'll always have a part of you with me.
I took a walk in the woods just yesterday
At our favorite place I stopped along the way
They caught my eye in disbelief!
Our initials on a tree
I'll always have a part of you with me
A part of you is setting on my knee
And in his face, so much of you I see
You didn't get to see him grow
Now our big boy is three
I'll always have a part of you with me.

Nature's Own

I awoke this morning
at the break of dawn
I focused a picture
out on the lawn
I had witnessed a moment
of natures own bond
A brave mother doe
And her small baby fawn.

A Special Love

No greater emotion
Has man ever shown
until he can cry
For someone unknown
