Virginia Scott Marous

Chardon, OH, USA

Virginia wrote a few poems when she was in High School. After her six children grew up and she became quite involved with St. Noel Catholic Church did she begin to write many inspirational poems. A few were published in the magazine, "Sharing", by the International Order of St. Luke. Other publications are; American Poetry Anthology 1986; Golden Poet Award 1991 by the World of Poetry plus many Merit Certificate Awards. Lifetime member in the International Society for Poets. Published in Best Poems of 1995 by the National Library of Poetry. Her children and grand children are the inspiration for many of her poems. The favorite one she encloses in a card to some friend in need is; "I thank thee". Writing poetry helps me feel spiritually the beautiful Universe God created and his love through other people. She loves to practice Calligraphy, play golf and work in her garden.

Love ~

Love is beyond all
measure of time ~
To touch the tallest cloud
in the sky,
To climb the highest
mountain peak,
To swim across the
widest blue ocean,
To run the longest
mile on Earth,
To give my searing heart
so unconditionally,
All in one word
to say, "I love you" ~

I Thank Thee

I thank thee
Father,
for the way
thy hand has guided
me today.
I woke at morning
dawn afraid,
to face my problems
so I prayed.
And one by one each
need was met,
for thou hast never
failed me yet.
Dear God, henceforth
my prayer
shall be
for strong abiding
faith in thee.
Amen ~

My Snow White Angel

Rushing to and fro
in your lifetime
Stop; listen carefully,
Try and "feel" your
guardian Angel
watching over you;
protecting you from
danger or harm
and feel safe
and warm with love
Know that you are
God's child and
He loves you beyond
all measure of time,
for time is but a
fleeting speck in
your eye
Peace, love and joy,
always and forever
