I’m an all American white girl born of the human race in the USA. I live in Northern California where we keep the boys warm at night. I am lover of Jesus and a follower of Christ.

Over the hill and through the woods is where you will find me Hiking along the creek or hugging a tree Where beauty and nature become a part of me And bring me back to reality

Organic

Don’t pee in the dirt
That’s where I plant my garden.
Chemicals will only hurt
Not worth the bargain

It has to be all natural
from the water to the soil
For each veggie plant to grow
So the harvest will be royal

If the bugs do appear

Take your own life

So many people take their own life
Was their choice so wrong for them to decide?
Or was it because they believed a lie
I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye.

There are more people in the world today
So the wrong things are more noticeable per...

It’s not all about me

When I feel like everything around me is falling apart
I reach inside, deep in my heart.

Remind myself it’s not as bad as it seems
someone else has it worse than me.

Then I bring myself to be humble
I practice this for many years.
If I...

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t need anything

Often times, ok, maybe once a day
there will be someone who will say
“I don’t care.”

Well I’ve done I don’t care
and it doesn’t get you anywhere.
It leaves you just sitting there with nothing.
Then they say,
“I’m ok, I don’t need...

Why is it odd to talk about God?

Why is it odd
To talk about God?
Yet people insist
To sit at their desk
In front of them stands
A statue of a fat man
To look at all day
But that’s not the way

That’s why Jesus came
So man will proclaim
A savior to help them
To be...

thank you. It has taken many years for me to learn that my feelings do not have eyes to see. Overwhelming they can be when it’s all about me.

thank you. So many people are like that. Letting go applies to everything in life. So my new saying or reply to others is, “Let it go”

Your poems make you beautiful.
What is most important is that you are willing to write about yourself and what you are going through. Those people who don’t call or come to see you, they don’t have the valuable talent that you do. You can be honest and you can write poetry. That’s what makes you so beautiful. It’s who you are in the inside that matters . Thank you for sharing your poems with us.

Thank you for sharing the Word of God with me. Please write more. I want to get as much of God that I can possibly get while I am here in this world. It’s medicine … manna for my spirit soul and body.

I really like this one. It s how we as Christians see life. I believe it’s the Spirit of the Lord, the Holy Ghost that is inside of us that showing us what life is really about. That’s the feeling I get too. Thank you for reminding me .

For the love of poetry we shall unite embracing diversity with all our might. Poetry is the language of the heart. I like how you started out as one poet in this world and as I continued to read I saw how you brought all poets together as one . No matter how different our writings are, we as poets speak from the heart. Thank you
