Elaine has used her experiences as an Army brat, mother, and twenty-five years as a flight attendant as inspiration for her poems. In 1992, she was declared legally blind and has used poetry as a source of healing. She credits her faith in God for her talent of writing deeply passionate and sensitive poems to inspire mankind to build a world that revolves around peace. She seeks to have her collection of books published. "The Highest Praise", "My Heart Speaks," "Heritage Speaks", and "Healing The World- Piece By Peace" promise to leave you breathless with plenty to think about! |
God's MessengerThe Lord has anointed me with His Holy WordI listen when He speaks and write what I've heard People seem so puzzled that I haven't gone to college He gives me what I need and provided me the knowledge So, listen to me speak, through the poems that I write Perhaps, your minds eye will be enlightened with new sight I never stop to question or even to wonder why I finish what I'm doing then exhale a thankful sigh Maybe there's a message from God through me to you I pray that some will listen, if there's only just a few |
IF I WERE MAGICIf I were magic, do you know what I would doI would change the world and make it new I would place it into my bag of tricks And everything that's broken I would fix I'd whisk it way off into outer space Then bring it back with a brand new face I would remake every face and change every head Then make them become someone else instead I would go inside every broken heart Then give it hope and fresh new start For all the hungry people, I would help to feed I would give poor people all that they would need My magic bag of tricks would take all sickness away Everyone would live to see a better day There would be happy with the joy that human life can bring Abuse of little children would come to an end There would be peace and harmony among all men My best trick of all would be to eradicate all the dope To give our youth a dream and restore lost hope I'd wave my magic wand and gangs would never fight I'd take away all the weapons and fling them out of sight I would educate the children completely without cost My act of generosity would maybe save a kid who's lost Now that I've got you all into my little bag of tricks I've tied you up together and given you a chance to mix Being close together made you think and touch and feel I hope you realize this is no trick, these situations are for real My closing act of magic is to let you all go free Living together in peace is as easy as can be If you liked my bag of magic, then wait for my hat For those of you who didn't you wouldn't want that There is something special here that I'm trying to do I would like to see the magic called love from all of you too |
